Homelessness prevention and support

Jigsaw Support provides homelessness prevention and support services in Greater Manchester, Tameside, Oldham, Stockport, Leigh, Wigan and Lancaster. This includes our award winning Housing First programme, including the GM Housing First pilot, housing options services in Tameside and Knowsley, and sheltered and temporary accommodation.

Housing First

Jigsaw Support provides a number of variations on the Housing First model, offering housing and support to people with multiple complex needs. Whether its our Rough Sleepers Initiative or our involvement in the GM Housing First partnership, our teams are providing a lifeline to those who have been failed by other services.

Knowsley Housing Options

KHO is a statutory homelessness service. As of 01 June 2021 the service is delivered directly by Knowsley Borough Council.

Tameside Housing Advice

THA is the statutory homeless service being delivered by Jigsaw Support on behalf of Tameside Borough Council.

Wigan Young People's Homeless Service

Wigan Young People's Homeless service provides 24hr staffed accommodation and person-centred support for young people across Leigh, Scholes and Orrell.

Agency managed properties

Jigsaw Support has its own housing and property management service, with a portfolio of properties spread across Greater Manchester. These properties have a higher level of support than that available in general needs housing.

Great Lives

Great Lives provides supported accommodation for those with challenging needs such as alcohol and drug use, offending behaviour, mental health and both perpetrators and victims of domestic abuse.

Real Change

Real Change Oldham and Real Change Wigan are two of our partners who provide help to people who are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless.
