Local authorities
A settled alternative to temporary accommodation
We work with council housing teams to provide good-quality, properly managed homes for households who would otherwise be in temporary accommodation.
Councils across England are placing more households in temporary accommodation, and keeping them there for longer. Transitional housing offers a settled alternative, with a named Housing Officer working to keep each tenancy going.
What we offer
- Furnished homes, ready to move into, close to local services
- Weekly tenancy coaching for every resident
- A clear referral route and quick decisions
- Regular updates to the referring officer, within agreed information-sharing arrangements
- Homes let through registered providers and managed to social housing standards
- No fixed end date, so placements do not run out
How we work with councils
Referrals or nominations
We can take individual referrals or agree nomination rights over a set number of homes in your area.
Duties and suitability
We are happy to talk through how placements fit with your prevention, relief and accommodation duties under Part 7 of the Housing Act 1996.
Fewer repeat placements
When tenancies hold, fewer households come back to you, and less is spent on emergency moves.
Reporting
Regular figures on occupancy and tenancy sustainment, so you can see what the arrangement is achieving.
