Starts at Home Day is a day when housing associations up and down the country celebrate supported housing and the positive impact it makes on thousands of lives. This day of action is central to the Starts at Home campaign, which has a simple but important aim – to ensure that people who needs extra support will always have a safe home that meets their needs.
There are lots of ways you can get involved ranging from showing your support on social media to inviting your local MP or Mayor to visit your scheme.

There is huge value in demonstrating just what supported housing is, and showcasing its positive impact on thousands of lives. One of the most powerful ways to do this is to help residents talk about what supported housing means to them. This could be photo and a quote or a video shared on Twitter. Or share one of our inspiring stories. Don’t forget to include the hashtag #StartsAtHome.
Get these ready to share on Starts at Home Day.
It’s vital that our elected representatives understand and appreciate the vital role of supported housing and, as Ally explains, the new intake of MPs is still getting to know the organisations in their constituency, even 18 months after the general election.
To create the biggest splash on Starts at Home Day, we need as many visits as possible to take place on or before that day (Friday 3 September 2021) so photos or videos from the visits can all be shared on the same day. But an MP visit is worthwhile at any time.
Resources
As the day approaches, you’ll be able to order a campaign supporter board which you can use to share photos on social media.
