For Council Housing Teams

    Your Go-To Provider for Temporary Accommodation

    We work with councils all over the country, not just Hertfordshire. We have contracts in place to provide short and long-term accommodation. When placement demand increases, we provide flexible accommodation solutions designed to fit local needs, delivered with clear standards, accountability, and consistent communication.

    We Understand the Pressure You Face

    Statutory duties don't wait. When placement demand exceeds capacity, you need reliable partners who deliver.

    Capacity Gaps

    Existing providers are full when you need units most, leaving vulnerable families without suitable accommodation

    Compliance Failures

    Properties failing inspections cause placement delays and put your statutory duty at risk

    Unreliable Providers

    Suppliers who don't answer on Friday afternoon when urgent placements are needed

    Documentation Gaps

    Compliance documentation always incomplete or out of date, creating audit risks
