About Action Housing

Over the last fifteen years, we have developed our services and our remit to work with a variety of complex and specialist groups of vulnerable people: such as those with substance misuse, mental illness, victims of abuse, and young people. In addition to helping people secure and maintain accommodation, we also facilitate personal development; access to other services and opportunities; support and opportunity to find meaningful occupation, and overall to help people change their lives for the better: reducing the cycle of hopelessness, risky behavior, and homelessness.

Action’s ethos is to work holistically with each individual customer. We consider their strengths and aspirations, involve them in decisions and ensure that they lead in the development of their support plans.  We always aim to work in partnership with other agencies, seeking to minimise the disruption and intrusiveness of repeated interventions and information gathering, whilst ensuring customer safety. 

Supporting vulnerable people

SINCE 1977

We have supported thousands of people since we were founded in 1977 and now support over 500 people daily. Our original services involved the provision of housing and support for ex-offenders in order to provide a platform for a different, more stable way of life and therefore reduce reoffending.

During 2011, we became a Registered Provider of Social Housing with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).

We have since developed our services and our remit to work with a variety of complex and specialist groups of vulnerable people: such as those with tenancy failures and long-term homelessness, neurodiversity, substance misuse, mental illness, domestic abuse survivors and care leavers.

No route to homelessness is the same, Action’s ethos is to work holistically with each individual helping them to see a new route – a route that can be scary, unpredictable and challenging. Our accommodation alongside trauma informed support, and empowerment, we enable them to change their lives for the better: reducing the cycle of hopelessness, risky behaviour, and homelessness.
