About Us
Providing Second Chances Through Supported Housing
Second Chance Housing was founded with a simple mission: to offer safe, stable, and supportive housing that empowers people to rebuild their lives. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to start again — with dignity, respect, and the right support.
Our services are delivered under Exempt Accommodation provisions, which means we don’t just provide a roof over someone’s head — we offer tailored, housing-related support that promotes independence and well-being.
Who We Support
We work with individuals who are:
- Leaving the criminal justice system
- At risk of homelessness
- Living with complex needs, such as mental health conditions or substance misuse histories
- Ready to take steps toward stability and reintegration
Our referrals come from local authorities, probation services, housing associations, and community organisations who trust us to deliver more than just housing — they trust us to deliver transformation.
Our Approach
Our lean, focused team — including a Scheme Manager, Housing Support Worker, and Cleaner — deliver structured, person-centred support that makes a difference. We:
- Promote life skills and tenancy management
- Provide daily emotional and practical support
- Encourage independence while maintaining safety and oversight
- Connect residents with local services and community resources
We do not provide personal care, but we go beyond basic housing — offering consistent, compassionate support to help residents gain confidence and move forward.
Our Values
- Compassion – We treat every individual with empathy, fairness, and understanding.
- Respect – We honour each person’s dignity and right to privacy and choice.
- Empowerment – We promote independence and personal growth.
- Accountability – We operate transparently and in line with regulatory standards.
- Partnership – We work with families, professionals, and communities to ensure positive outcomes.
