Who we are?
Optimism Supported Housing is a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming people facing or experiencing homelessness, living with mental health issues, drug and alcohol misuse and offending behaviour, who require support to live as independently as possible in the community. We provide temporary safe, secured, and warm accommodation for them to have stability and improve their quality of life and opportunities to rebuild their lives.
In addition, we help our clients develop and maintain life skills, and all our support services are client-centred based to support clients with their individual needs, aspiration, and preferences in mind.
Our Mission
To end the cycle of homelessness: We empower our clients to engage with the individually tailored support services: working towards personal independence by providing them access and resources to gain the life skills training, education, job readiness, and support in accessing events in the community that are necessary to move them on to live as independently as possible.
Our Values
Optimism Supported Housing works in the concept of giving people New Hope and making it Alive ”NEW HOPE ALIVE”, which is an acronym for our values.

I have been with Optimism Supported Housing since 28th, September 2021. Coming from a family breakdown was hard but having Optimism Housing was positive. I have been helped, Supported and guided whilst being there.
I have the information and understanding of how to sustain a tenancy with regular 1-2-1 sessions with my support worker or a member of staff. We talk about my emotional well-being and the goals that I want to achieve in the near future by breaking down the goal into small steps.
Since being Optimism Supported Housing, I have passed my PTS training and advanced with further education which I am happy about. They helped by having conversations with the training providers whilst I had a bump on the road, helped book drug & alcohol tests, and supported me with travel money.
