Sustainable Housing Partnership Service (SHPS)

The Sustainable Housing Partnership Service (SHPS) project is delivered in Breckland, North and West Norfolk to support single adults aged 18 plus, couples (and in some districts, families too) in the prevention and relief of homelessness in the region.

The SHPS Project will aim to produce Personalised Housing Plans for all customers with a focus on tenancy support, helping them to successfully maintain that tenancy or supporting them to seek suitable accommodation.
