Solo Housing (East Anglia) Ltd

Who we are

Solo Housing - a charity providing housing solutions for single homeless people, giving them the opportunity to access both short term and long term suitable & affordable housing in East Anglia. As a registered provider we provide access to high quality support, enabling single people to develop the skills needed to sustain independent living.

Solo provides support, advice, information and practical help, enabling single people to secure and sustain accommodation.

We believe in people and our intention is to provide opportunities for those who pass through our door to improve their lives and take up new opportunities. 

Solo currently provides three types of housing solution for single people:

The Lodgings Scheme - enables people with a spare room to let to be matched with someone looking for an affordable housing solution. A lodger provides the householder useful extra tax free income, companionship and wider social benefit such as sharing skills. The Lodgings Scheme provides a quick & affordable housing solution for people who do not have a home and may not have wider support networks to help or accommodate them.

Supported Housing - Accommodation Based Supported Housing is temporary accommodation which seeks to assist people to develop skills to sustain longer term accommodation; where they may have specific health or other vulnerabilities which have previously made it difficult for them to sustain accommodation in general needs housing.  The accommodation provided is either a one bedroom flat, shared house or flat or hostel. Residents are provided with their own furnished flat or room (where they may share a kitchen, bathroom, and lounge). Our staff visit regularly, encouraging people to rebuild their confidence and prepare for independent living. The service provides a planned move back into the community, either to housing association accommodation or to the private sector, living with family or friends or moving to lodgings.

General needs accommodation - low cost self-contained single person accommodation units which can provide a move on solution for those living in supported accommodation/lodgings or provide low cost accommodation for those on a low income
