The UK has a severe shortage of Specialist Supported Housing (SSH)

Vulnerable people, with autism, learning disabilities and mental health needs, are stuck on waiting lists  while funding is fragmented, unreliable, and inefficient. The sector is complex, leaving potential investors on the sidelines.

Thousands lack access to high-quality specialist supported housing dueto funding gaps, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and misaligned incentives.  Despite clear government backing, the market remains fragmented, mispriced, and underserved - creating both a social crisisand a major investment opportunity.

Despite urgent need, the supported housing sector is broken. Funding gaps persist, bureaucracy slows approvals, and past failures have discouraged private capital. Yet SSH is underpinned by government-backed funding, and demand is only increasing.

The key issue is that the market lacks structure, transparency, and scalable investment solutions - creating a mispriced, underserved asset class. This is both a social issue and an investment opportunity waiting to be unlocked.
