We provide safe accommodation alongside practical, person centred support for adults who may be facing homelessness, instability or difficult life circumstances.
Every person is different, so our approach is shaped around their individual needs, strengths and goals. We aim to create a stable environment where people can feel safe, build confidence and begin working towards greater independence.

Important Emergency Notice
Able Social Housing is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, at risk of harm, or needs urgent medical or police assistance, contact emergency services immediately on 999. If someone is homeless or at risk of homelessness, they should also contact their local council homelessness team as soon as possible.
People come to us in very different circumstances. Some may need ongoing supported housing, others may be looking for help making a referral, while some may be facing an urgent housing crisis. We aim to make each route clear, welcoming and easy to understand, so people can quickly find the support or information that best matches their situation.

Support For All Circumstances
We support adults from a wide range of backgrounds who may need both safe accommodation and practical guidance. Some people may be homeless or at risk of homelessness, while others may be leaving hospital, prison or another unstable situation.
Every referral is considered carefully and without judgement. We look at the whole person, including their experiences, support needs, strengths, risks and the type of environment in which they are most likely to feel safe and settled.
We help residents connect with suitable health and wellbeing services, keep important appointments and create healthier routines. Support may also include explaining available services and helping people feel more confident using them.
Greater
Independence
Our support helps people develop useful skills, build on their achievements and take greater responsibility for everyday life. Each resident is encouraged to progress at a pace that feels comfortable, achievable and lasting.
Regular encouragement can help residents create structure, regain self belief and feel more settled in everyday life. Achievable steps and dependable routines can make challenges easier to manage and give people a stronger sense of control.
Daily Living
Skills
Support can cover everyday tasks such as preparing meals, cleaning, shopping, planning and staying organised. Building these practical abilities can help residents feel more confident, settled and in control of daily life.
Individual
Support
We take a flexible approach that reflects each person’s circumstances, abilities and goals. By listening carefully, we can understand where support may be most useful and help residents work towards meaningful progress.
Safe
Accommodation
A secure place to live can bring calm, structure and the space someone needs after homelessness, instability or unsuitable housing. Having a dependable home can make it easier to rebuild confidence and take positive steps forward.
Health and Wellbeing
More Than Just a Place To Live
Supported housing combines safe accommodation with practical support that helps people manage everyday life, feel more settled and begin moving forward. The support provided will vary from person to person, depending on their circumstances, strengths and goals.
Confidence and Routine
A Clear an Supportive Referral Process
Asking for help can feel difficult, particularly when someone is facing uncertainty about where they will live or what support may be available. We aim to make the referral process clear, welcoming and straightforward, whether a person is referring themselves or being supported by a professional, organisation or service.
We take time to understand the person’s circumstances, current housing situation, support needs and any immediate concerns. Every referral is considered carefully and without judgement, with clear communication throughout and the next steps explained as simply and sensitively as possible.

Safe and Well Managed Homes
A stable and well managed home can make a real difference to someone who has experienced homelessness, uncertainty or unsafe accommodation. We aim to create environments where residents feel respected, supported and able to focus on rebuilding confidence.
Every property is visited weekly, allowing our team to provide support, check wellbeing and maintain regular oversight of the accommodation. This helps us identify concerns early, keep standards consistent and respond promptly where further help is needed.

Early Concern Identification
Suitable properties are essential to delivering safe, stable supported accommodation. We work with landlords who want a more reliable way to let their property while helping create better housing options for people who need support.
Our landlord partnerships are built around clear terms, regular communication and professional management, giving property owners greater confidence throughout the agreement.
The monthly rent, payment dates and lease terms are agreed before the arrangement begins. This gives landlords a clearer and more predictable return, making it easier to plan ahead and manage their property with greater confidence.
Guaranteed Rental Income
We manage resident placements, ongoing support and the day to day housing arrangement on the landlord’s behalf. This reduces routine administration and provides one clear point of contact throughout the partnership.
Professional Management
Help Provide Self Homes
Rent is paid in line with the lease and does not depend on every room remaining occupied at all times. This helps protect landlords from temporary vacancies and creates a more stable income throughout the agreed term.
Zero Void Periods
Every property is visited each week as part of our resident support. These regular visits also provide consistent oversight, helping us identify concerns early, report issues promptly and maintain appropriate standards within the home.

Need Housing Urgently?
Suddenly having nowhere safe to stay can be deeply unsettling. Our emergency accommodation route is intended for people facing an immediate housing crisis, including those who are homeless, at risk of losing their accommodation or unable to remain safely where they are.
Each urgent enquiry is considered carefully, with attention given to the person’s immediate safety, circumstances, support needs and any known risks. Providing as much clear information as possible helps our team understand the situation and respond appropriately.
Any placement will depend on assessment, suitability and the accommodation available at the time. While we cannot guarantee an immediate offer, we will treat every urgent enquiry with care and explain the next steps as clearly as possible.
