The Housing Network (THN) is a specialist housing and support provider that has been delivering solutions to homelessness and housing need since 2014. Working in partnership with local authorities, government departments and organisations across the UK, THN provides safe, good-quality accommodation alongside practical, person-centred support that helps people move from crisis towards greater stability and independence.

Today, THN supports thousands of individuals and families each year through temporary accommodation, supported housing and Ministry of Justice services. Its approach recognises that providing a safe place to live is an important first step, but that lasting change often requires support with the wider challenges people may be facing.

This support is shaped around individual needs and ranges from responsive, 24/7 maintenance and essential items such as bedding, to helping residents access opportunities and services within their local communities. Through partnerships and community connections, residents can also be signposted to additional support, including initiatives such as Community Shop in Leicester and the independent charity More than a Roof.

As a certified B Corp, THN is committed to balancing purpose with commercial performance and delivering positive social and environmental impact. This commitment extends across residents, colleagues, partners and the communities in which THN operates.

At the heart of the organisation are five values: Dynamic, Dependable, Kind, Innovative and Respectful. These values guide how colleagues work, make decisions, build partnerships and deliver services, helping to embed THN’s purpose throughout the organisation.

This commitment also extends to THN’s people. A new Wellbeing Pathway has been launched to provide colleagues with clearer access to wellbeing support and resources, alongside new Recognition Awards that celebrate colleagues who demonstrate THN’s values and make a positive contribution across
