St Matthew Housing provides supported accommodation for single people who are either homeless or unsuitably housed.

St Mathews was founded in 1973 and have over 35 years' experience in ‎delivering support and accommodation to individuals across East Anglia and ‎the East Midlands.‎

We provide over 700 units of shared or self-contained accommodation across ‎our service area.

We provide resettlement support to enable residents to successfully move ‎onto independent accommodation and floating support to external service ‎users who have housing support need.
‎
We work in a way that enables people to achieve their individual goals, at ‎their own pace, in their own communities.‎ St Mathews in 2008 became part of Springboard Housing Association and so is ‎part of the Genesis Housing Group.‎

St Mathews works with many local authorities in delivering a personalised ‎supported accommodation service to people in housing need.‎

Accommodation-based service ‎

‎We offer three types of accommodation:‎‎

1. Houses

St Mathew Housing provides 42 schemes, offering accommodation to individuals who ‎require day-to-day support. A team consisting of at least one Housing ‎Support Worker and two Project Workers manages the house.

Each ‎resident has the opportunity to learn life skills and receive support tailored ‎to their individual needs. Residents have their own room and shared use ‎of communal facilities including the kitchen, lounge, garden and laundry. ‎
‎

2. Group homes ‎

‎Living in one of the 18 Group Homes provides residents with more ‎independence. Residents do their own shopping and cook all their meals ‎in a shared kitchen.

Group Homes are situated close to other St Mathew Housing ‎accommodations to ensure staff are nearby, should the residents require ‎assistance.‎

‎3. Move-on flats

‎Move-on flats offer residents the chance to live independently, yet still ‎receive support when required. St Matthew Housing provides 164 flats ‎across the region. Residents have the chance ‎to live in their own self-contained accommodation and experience what life ‎would be like living independently.
‎

Floating Support service

St Matthew Housing offers Floating Support to individuals who live ‎independently in the community. These service users may be tenants of local ‎authorities, live in privately rented, own their accommodation or be tenants ‎of other housing associations.

A team of 30 Floating Support workers and ‎assistants across the region with bespoke support plans to ‎ensure they can sustain their accommodation and remain independently. ‎
