Secure Steps Support CIC

Secure, accessible homes. Steady steps forward.

Secure Steps Support CIC provides safe, well-managed accommodation for adults affected by housing insecurity with a particular focus on older residents, wheelchair users, and people living with mobility-limiting health conditions. As a Community Interest Company, we reinvest surpluses into better homes and outcomes, working in partnership with local authorities, housing providers and health partners across Sussex.

Who we support

Secure Steps supports adults whose housing insecurity is linked to:

Wheelchair use or a requirement for fully accessible living environments
Transition from hospital, or recovery following illness or injury
Increased vulnerability associated with age, disability or isolation

Many residents we support are at a transition point: discharge from hospital, loss of previous accommodation, or a change in mobility or health that makes their existing housing unsuitable.

What we provide

Accessibility matched

Safe, accessible accommodation matched to physical and mobility needs.

Housing management

Housing management with tenancy sustainment and move-on pathways.

Joined-up delivery

Coordinated work alongside registered care providers, health services and local authority teams.

Risk reduction

Early identification of risk and proactive support to maintain placement stability.

Commissioner visibility

Clear outcomes, reporting and oversight for commissioning partners.

How we work

We operate a partnership model. Placements come via commissioners and professional referrers, never direct to the public. This keeps standards high, risk well-managed, and communication clear across agencies.
