SHAP supports approximately 1,200 people per year providing accommodation, support, coaching and welfare benefits advice to ensure that when people move on from our accommodation they have developed the confidence and skills to do that successfully. We provide support in the community for people who are insecurely housed, threatened with homelessness or need additional support to help them maintain their accommodation. We offer emergency accommodation to young people who are on the brink of being forced to leave their family home, or who have done so with no place to go.
