Supported Housing & Social Housing Solutions

At Referral First, we proudly extend our services to include Supported Housing, more appropriately referred to as Social Housing Solutions, to help meet the growing needs of individuals and families facing housing insecurity. Our approach is holistic, compassionate, and community-driven—ensuring that vulnerable individuals not only have access to safe, stable accommodation but also the ongoing support necessary to lead fulfilling and independent lives.

What We Offer
Managed Housing Placements
We manage a portfolio of supported and social housing properties that offer a safe and secure environment tailored to the needs of individuals facing hardship. Our housing is suitable for people dealing with homelessness, mental health challenges, domestic abuse, financial instability, immigration-related issues, and more.

Personalised Support Services
Our dedicated team works closely with residents to provide comprehensive support that goes beyond a roof over their heads. This includes assistance with benefit applications, access to healthcare, educational opportunities, employment support, and wellbeing services. Each resident receives a personalised support plan that promotes independence and long-term stability.

Partnerships with Landlords and Providers
We act as a bridge between local landlords, housing providers, and those in need. By working collaboratively with property owners, estate agencies, housing associations, and local authorities, we help bring underused or suitable properties into use for social good. Our vetting, matching, and management process ensures landlords have confidence in the responsible use of their properties, while tenants receive the dignity and stability they deserve.

Bridging the Gap in Social Housing Access
In the face of a national shortage of social housing, Referral First plays an active role in addressing the gap between demand and supply. We advocate for fair access to housing, work with government bodies and community networks, and develop long-term housing partnerships that serve those most at risk of exclusion. We are committed to innovating sustainable housing models that respond to real-life challenges in our communities.

Compliance, Quality, and Safeguarding
All properties we manage meet or exceed local housing standards. We ensure robust safeguarding policies are in place and provide regular oversight and tenancy reviews. Residents are supported in creating a safe and respectful living environment.

Referral First is more than just a provider—we are a connector, an advocate, and a community-driven solution builder. Through our Social Housing Services, we are creating pathways to stable living and brighter futures.
