How it works

Hilltops House offers supported accommodation to the over-50s who are homeless or at serious risk of homelessness. Referrals are via the Local Authority.

There is no definitive length of stay, but we will work with local housing associations, residential homes and private landlords once you are ready to help you move-on to suitable accommodation, with follow-up support.
