SPECIALIST SUPPORTED LIVING · NORTH WEST OF ENGLAND
Bridging the gap between
care need and property
delivery.
Where care is built in.
We create specialist supported living homes for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and acquired brain injuries, then acquire, develop and lease them as long-term, needs-led partnerships across Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Lancashire.

WHERE CARE MEETS PROPERTY
Most organisations understand either care or property. We bring both together.
ONE DELIVERY MODEL
From opportunity to stewardship.
HPP aligns healthcare demand, care provision, housing management and property delivery as one connected route, not a succession of hand-offs.
Identify & assess
We assess sites against local need, care delivery and long-term viability.
Plan & align
We coordinate planning, design, provider and Registered Provider requirements.
Develop & deliver
We manage a joined-up route from property opportunity to operational handover.
Hold & steward
We consider ownership, lease structures and long-term performance from the outset.
01
Verified local need
Commissioner requirements help define the right property proposition before a scheme progresses.
02
Joined-up delivery
Care, housing, planning and construction decisions are worked through as one connected route.
03
Long-term alignment
Provider, Registered Provider, investor and development structures are considered together.

WHY THIS MODEL MATTERS
Specialist homes work when need, care and property move together.
The UK faces a significant shortage of specialist housing for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and complex support requirements. Demand is structural, not cyclical, and that is what makes well-structured schemes resilient.
- Demand is structural: only around a quarter of eligible people are currently in suitable supported housing.
- Occupancy is commissioner-backed, not dependent on the open rental market.
- Housing and care are funded separately, so care can flex as needs change without disturbing the home.
- Schemes are hard to assemble and hard to replicate, which is what protects them once they exist.
THE PARTNERSHIP MODEL
A shared route to enduring homes.
NEED & CARE
Commissioners, NHS and ICB partners, and care providers.
HOUSING & DELIVERY
Registered Providers, landowners, developers and professional advisers.
CAPITAL & STEWARDSHIP
Investors and long-term property partners aligned with sustainable delivery.
