How successful local partnerships can secure sustainable funding for supported housing

How can supported housing providers demonstrate their financial value to these local commissioners in such a competitive and resource scarce climate?

This webinar for Starts at Home Day 2025 provides an opportunity to hear directly from supported housing providers that have recently secured sustainable funding for their schemes from local authorities and the NHS.

The supported housing sector in England faces an existential funding crisis and many schemes are on the brink of closure. The National Housing Federation is campaigning for an urgent commitment to long-term sustainable funding for supported housing to keep the doors open. Amidst this crisis, we want to share lessons from those who have successfully made the case to councils and the NHS for new funding.
