Director Linda Bratcher from Total Coverage graphic design workers’ co-operative was thrilled to attend the Salvation Army Housing Association’s (SAHA) 50th anniversary event at the House of Commons earlier this week. The event was attended by residents of SAHA centres from across the country, it was an opportunity for them to share their personal experiences of homelessness with MPs and highlight several key issues which directly affect them. SAHA is a registered social landlord, they have a combination of general needs housing and supported housing (social service centres and centres particularly for homeless people) in their supported centres they seek to provide additional services to enable residents and service users gain independence. Their main partner in supported housing is the Salvation Army, with whom they not only provide supported housing, but also educational and training opportunities and employment opportunities.
