Sustainable Housing 2 {SASH21 property programme. Six homes are now fully operational across Swindon,
Hereford, Bristol and South Gloucestershlr&, represenllng a total investment of £2.78 million. These hom@s provide
stability, dignity, and the opportunity for individuals to rebuild their lives in a safe and supportive envlronmenl.
The successful launch of the Willshlre Supported Accommodation service has further strengthened this provision.
Designed to support care-experienced and asylum-se&king young poople, the service has already demonslraled
