We were formed in April 2001 through the merger of the Society of St Dismas (founded in 1962) and St Petroc Housing association (founded in 1972). Both organisations shared a passion for housing and supporting vulnerable single people.
Our vision today is to give people who are homeless, vulnerable or in need of support, the opportunity to build a brighter future.
We have services in Berkshire, Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and Sussex.
We support 16-65 year olds. Our services include outreach to rough sleepers, supported accommodation (direct access hostels, move-on accommodation, and resettlement flats), day centres, community support, housing first and landlord support services.
