Who we are

Our mission

Sitra champions excellence in housing, support and care.

Sitra is a membership organisation providing leadership, influencing policy through expertise,

promoting best practice and providing consultancy, training, information and advice to:

  • Promote positive outcomes for clients, providers and funders
  •  Drive the policy agenda
  •  Encourage a healthy, diverse and sustainable sector
  •  Support quality and professionalisation.

About us

We are a membership organisation and a registered charity with over 25 years experience of offering practitioners a range of affordable policy, training, information, conference and capacity building services.

Our membership comprises around 800 practitioners in the field of housing with care and support. The membership elects the committee. Around 35% of our members are Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), 49% are managing agents (i.e. support providers not registered with the Housing Corporation) and 13% are Local Authorities or other statutory bodies. We operate throughout England, and have offices in London, Bristol and Newcastle. Our work covers all aspects of supported housing, together with associated activities such as human resources and staffing issues, financial management, and community care. We are recognised and consulted by government departments and other bodies as representatives of providers of supported housing.

Sitra is perhaps best known as a leading training provider. Each year we train over 4,000 individuals across the country, either on our general programme or on tailored made inhouse courses for members and clients. We also provide a range of seminars and conferences on supported housing related themes. We estimate that over 2000 people attend such a SITRA event each year.

The monthly Sitra Bulletin is widely recognised as a key source of technical information and policy development news throughout the supported housing sector. With a circulation of around 3000, it is the most widely distributed specialist publication within the supported housing sector. We supplement the bulletin with regular briefings on matters relating to supported housing and its related fields.
