Agency Managed Supported Housing

SAHA works in partnership with a number of organisations nationally, principally the Salvation Army, to provide a wide range of agency managed supported housing schemes.

Including:

Hostels and residential centres for homeless, single people

Accommodation for homeless families

Centres for those detoxing and/or recovering from drugs and alcohol addictions

Accommodation for social services care leavers

Elderly care homes

Accommodation for ex offenders

Individuals and families fleeing domestic violence

Within the partnerships SAHA acts as the landlord owning and maintaining the buildings while another organisation undertakes the day to day management of the service.

SAHA has a team of Inspectors (IQI - Independent Quality Inspectorate) who closely work with managing agents across the country to ensure SAHA owned schemes are managed to the consistently high standard that the association expects. These standards are regularly reviewed and include an annual inspection of each service to measure the progress with improvements.
