- No referralAnyone can contact us directly
- Your own doorA private room and bathroom, and a tenancy
We are not a hostel. Residents hold a tenancy and stay as long as they need to.
Anyone can get in touch — for themselves, for a family member, or as a professional. There is no referral to arrange first, and no waiting to be sent.
Organisations we work with
Local authorities, hospitals and GP practices, probation and outreach teams, and mental health services all place people with us — but you do not need any of them to get in touch.
Our origin
Founded in 2014

- A calm, predictable environment
Who you would be dealing with
The same faces, year after year
Supporting Homeless was founded in 2014 and is run by its directors, with a support team who have worked here for years.
Low staff turnover is deliberate. Consistency matters here more than almost anywhere — it is the difference between telling your story once and telling it every month.
Look around
The house, room by room
Communal kitchen
Cooking together, or on your own
Support with shopping, cooking and routine at whatever level someone needs — from doing it alongside you to leaving you to it.
Private bedroom with en-suite
A door that closes
Every resident has their own room and their own bathroom. Three self-contained flats and a six-bedroom house, all in Walsall.
Communal lounge
Company when you want it
On-site staff, and people who have lived here for years — with somewhere to sit that is not your own room.

From the families of people who live here

I can’t thank the Supporting Homeless staff enough, for the kindness and caring support that Paul receives from Supporting Homeless.
Paul’s sister, who left a Christmas card and a bag of chocolates for the staff -
It’s a wonderful set up at Ida Road, where my brother lives. I feel like moving in myself!
