The inception of SHF was on the back of the impact of COVID19, founded in 2020 and set up during the pandemic to help with the raised homelessness and domestic violence. We provide ongoing high-quality accommodation to vulnerable adults throughout Cambridgeshire until they are able to live independently.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the UK are either homeless, or at risk of losing their home, with many finding themselves in the terrifying position of having nowhere to turn. With this fate facing so many, SHF CIC was founded to provide an alternative. Instead of allowing these vulnerable people to suffer on the streets, Supported Housing Fellowship can offer not only a home, but also a helping hand in all areas of life with our dedicated support team.
With COVID-19 came an increase in domestic violence, depression and inevitable financial hardship.
We knew we could help and that we could make a significant change, so in the summer of 2020 the Fellowship was formed.
We offer a range of accommodation and personalised support options to enable people to remain in their locality where possible, promoting and retaining valuable links to new support networks and healthy environments. Our properties meet individual needs through a dedicated and trained staff team with vast experience together with expertise and compassion to fully support people through their different vulnerabilities despite how complex their needs may be.
Our aim is to continue to increase the amount of housing and support available for vulnerable, homeless adults, many of which struggling with mental health issues, drug or alcohol addictions and/or facing domestic abuse.
The Fellowship is a Community Interest Company (C.I.C.). As a C.I.C. we are a not for profit organisation. By this we mean that any profit we make goes back into the homes and services we provide operating as a social enterprise to make a difference to the lives of the most vulnerable in our society.
We wish to personally thank you for voting us for the Peterborough Mayor Civic Award's
