Steps to tenancy success

We’re here to provide homes but there are times when we can’t offer someone a tenancy, even if they’ve successfully bid on a property.

This is normally due to affordability and because we think we could be setting them up to fail.

To help those we have to say no to, we’re offering the opportunity for them to join our pre-tenancy programme run by social enterprise Your Own Place Opens in new window (YOP).

YOP will use its expertise in preventing homelessness to support people to improve their financial situation, so that next time they bid, we can hopefully turn that ‘no’ into a ‘yes’. 

Watch the video below to find out more about the Steps to tenancy success programme.


You can also email Steps@sovereign.org.uk to learn more about the programme.
