Diverse Supported Accommodation CIC was founded in June 2022 to do one thing well: provide high-quality supported housing for adults with mental health needs across Greater London. We're a Community Interest Company by choice — locked by law to put community benefit before private profit.
Most supported accommodation across the UK is sub-let, sub-contracted, and slow to respond. Repairs queue. Standards drift. Residents lose trust in the home itself. And the people who suffer most are the ones who had the least to lose in the first place.
We started Diverse Supported Accommodation CIC because we believed that didn't have to be the model. Quality supported housing — well-maintained, professionally run, transparent — is achievable. It just requires a provider who treats the home as part of the recovery, not as a backdrop to it.
So we built one. In-house maintenance, around-the-clock emergency response, Fixflo on every repair, gardens kept, windows cleaned — and a Community Interest Company structure that means no shareholder can ever take a cut of any of it.
So that the home itself becomes part of the recovery. Four values keep us honest about how we do it.
The home a resident lives in is held to the same standard you'd accept for someone you love.
Repairs in hours, not weeks. Out-of-hours emergencies handled when they happen.
Tidy gardens. Clean windows. A bedroom worth coming home to. Small things, said clearly.
Every repair logged in Fixflo. Every claim verifiable. Every surplus locked to community use.
A Community Interest Company is a special type of limited company designed by Parliament in 2004 to put community benefit before private profit. Here's how that changes everything — in plain English.
For commissioners, families and referrers, the takeaway is simple: a CIC is the only common UK company form that comes with a built-in, regulator-enforced guarantee that the housing we hold and the money we earn can't be siphoned out as personal profit. More on the CIC Regulator →
