How to talk about supported housing

How to talk about supported housing focuses on strategies to put supported housing on the agenda and build understanding. It was created as part of the Talking about Homes project with our partners Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Nationwide Foundation.

We all need a decent, affordable home that supports our wellbeing. It’s the foundation for our lives. And for those of us who need some assistance in order to live well, supported housing is vital.

But supported housing is often absent from the conversation about how to improve housing in the UK. People tend to have a limited understanding of what supported housing is, the value it brings to people’s lives and to our wider society.

We can frame our communications in ways that will help to build this understanding and make a stronger case for decent, affordable supported housing for all of us who need it.
