Formed in 2009, Sustain UK Ltd is a not-for-profit company created in response to a growing need for quality social housing related support and accommodation for vulnerable homeless people in the West Midlands. Now a registered provider, Sustain UK’s mission is to provide vulnerable and homeless people with the opportunity to live in housing of a decent standard, to be delivered by a trained local workforce. Many of Sustain’s residents are experiencing mental health issues, learning difficulties and/or dual diagnoses, (including those who are recovering from alcohol/drug dependency.) The organisation grew from a single property in 2009 to around 400 properties today - with 107 home providers covering approximately 1,800 residents.
