Keystage Housing

Keystage Housing is a civic & social organization providing a variety of accommodation schemes for adults in need. Our work in social housing began in 2012, specialising in providing accommodation for people with care support needs. Keystage Housing was formed in 2018 to meet the needs of single homeless people involved with the Criminal Justice System in partnership with Probation Services in Luton. In 2019 we opened our first Homelessness Assessment and Rapid Resettlement Pathway (HARRP) in partnership with the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG) and the Luton Borough Council. Following the success of this, in 2020 we opened our second HARRP Somewhere Safe to Stay Assessment Hub (HARRP Trinity), in partnership with MHCLG and the Northampton Borough Council. We are committed to tackling homelessness and supporting individuals to move away from homelessness and look towards the future. We recognise that homelessness is not just about housing. Our Somewhere Safe to Stay Hubs provide holistic, person-centred support with the help of our local partners. There are many barriers to housing that we aim to remove and our tailored support in each case has proven to help service users navigate their way out of homelessness for the long-term.
