We were originally formed in April 2001 through the merger of the Society of St Dismas (founded in 1962) and St Petroc Housing association (founded in 1972). Both organisations shared a passion for housing and supporting vulnerable people.

Our services are located in Berkshire, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton and they include; outreach to people who are sleeping rough, supported accommodation (direct access hostels, move-on accommodation, and resettlement flats), day centres, community support, Housing First, mental health support and landlord support services.

Our vision - To be a safety net for people in tough times and the springboard to a brighter future
Our mission - To provide people with homes and specialist support so they feel more valued and secure, and ready to take the next steps
Our values - Everyone matters. We know we’re stronger together. We do the right things, for the right reasons. We never give up
