Shape's Board
To be a specialist provider of supported
housing working, in particular, with vulnerable young people and
the homeless is complex, increasingly challenging but is
significant.
Typically in a year we will help over 100
single homeless people, approximately 50 single parents and another
50 couples and around 20 homeless families. In addition, the
Outreach service will help 50 young people a year and our floating
support service another 40.
Our help is more than bricks and mortar, not
just a roof over heads. It is the added value that we achieve by
working together and supporting our residents that we think makes
us special.
There are currently 11 board members.
