Signpost is built for supported and exempt accommodation as well as ordinary rooms. If you run supported housing, you can list placements in a way that reaches the right people and sets expectations before anyone enquires.
Show the support level
People look for a level of support that matches their needs. Set whether the placement is low, medium or high support, so the right people find you. Our guide on support levels explains what those mean to someone looking for a place.
Be clear about referrals
If a placement needs a referral, say so. Marking the referral route means people who cannot access the placement directly do not enquire, and the right referrals reach you. Our guide on referral required accommodation covers how people understand this.
Set out the money clearly
- •The weekly charge, split into rent and service charges
- •Whether Housing Benefit applies
- •What support is included
- •Availability, kept up to date
Reach people who suit your service
Clear listings mean better matches. When your support level, referral route and benefit information are all visible, people who suit your service get in touch and others move on. Our guide on reducing unsuitable enquiries goes further.
What to do next
Create a placement listing on Post a Place, set the support level and referral route, and keep availability current. Read more on the for providers page.
