Partnerships
Working with local partners
A home on its own is rarely enough. We work with councils, health and justice services and local groups so that residents can get the right help when they need it.
Who we partner with
Councils
Housing teams, adult social care and children’s services.
Justice services
Probation practitioners and prison resettlement teams.
Health
Hospital discharge teams, housing link workers and community health services.
Registered providers
Housing associations and other registered providers of social housing who hold the landlord role.
Property owners
Landlords who want their homes looked after and let on a long-term basis.
Community organisations
Colleges, employment programmes, food projects and other local groups our residents use.
How we work with partners
We agree the outcomes at the start, share information within agreed protocols and report openly, including on anything that has not gone to plan.
We prefer a few long-term relationships in each area to a large number of loose ones.
- A written agreement and a named contact
- Regular review meetings
- Reporting on agreed outcomes
- Staff based in the areas we work in
What we aim for
- Tenancies that last beyond the first year
- Fewer repeat placements and emergency moves
- Residents registered with local services such as a GP
- Empty or underused homes brought back into use
- Figures that show what has been achieved
Thinking about a partnership?
We usually start with a short call to understand what you need and whether we are the right fit.
