Housing First is an internationally recognised programme designed to support people with complex needs who have been unable to sustain a long-term home.
Housing First is an internationally recognised approach to tackling homelessness for people who have been unable to sustain long-term accommodation. It provides a tenancy first as a platform for change, with intensive and flexible support to help clients address their needs at their pace. St Mungo’s is one of the largest providers of Housing First services in England, supporting 349 clients in different locations.
At St Mungo’s we take the principles of Housing First and apply them by:
"Housing First is a different model because it provides housing ‘first’, on the basis of right, rather than at the end of a process as a reward. And years later the bedrock of the model remains as exciting today as it was in those early stages as we have learned, adapted and grown along the way. Our longer-term aim is for people to achieve long lasting recovery."
