Starts at Home Day 2024
Friday 30 August 2024
Today, with organisations across the country, we are celebrating the value of care and support services and the difference that having a safe and secure place to call home can make to people’s lives.
Starts at Home Day is an opportunity to highlight the positive impact of supported housing on our communities across the country, and to ensure supported housing is recognised as an invaluable part of the housing, health, social care and criminal justice systems.
Without a long-term plan for supported housing, thousands of people could go without the support they need, costing the public purse and leaving people who could live independently with support facing long stays in residential or institutional care, or at risk of homelessness. This year’s Starts at Home Day is a chance to tell the new government how they can deliver for supported housing and residents.
We’ll be taking the time to share some thoughts and insights from our dedicated colleagues on social media, who work in this area of the business.
