Shropshire Association for Supported Housing (SASH)
We provide quality supported accommodation in Shrewsbury and Craven Arms for adults living with mental health challenges.
We offer a small number of welcoming homes where people can live independently while receiving person-centred support tailored to their individual needs. Our focus is on helping residents build confidence as we promote independence, respect personal choice, and encourage every resident to progress at their own pace.
Our Accommodation
Our supported housing offers a safe, comfortable environment where residents can focus on improving their wellbeing as they rebuild their lives with dignity and support.
What we offer:
- Private, fully furnished bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms
- Shared living room, kitchen, laundry facilities, and garden spaces
- Easy access to local shops, transport links and community amenities
Residents can stay until they’re ready to move on to more independent living—this could be several months or up to five years. Our homes are intended to be temporary, transitional spaces that support long-term wellbeing.
Supporting Our Residents
During their stay, we seek to provide tailored and holistic support to each individual, this includes:
- Regular ongoing support from our experienced team
- Access to 24-hour emergency assistance
- Designed Supported Housing Officers who work closely with external support services
Accommodation is intended as a stepping stone towards independent living. Residents can stay for as long as they need while working towards their personal goals and future housing options.
Our Approach
While living with us, residents are encouraged to:
- Explore new hobbies and leisure activities
- Rebuild confidence and social connections
- Make plans for their future
- Return to work, education, or training
- Join our wide range of peer support groups at Shropshire MHS
- Prepare for independent living
About SASH
Shropshire Association for Supported Housing (SASH) is a non-profit organisation and was founded in 1972 to address the lack of support for people transitioning to independent living after experiencing mental health issues.
Originally operating just three properties, SASH expanded significantly over the years, supporting up to 42 individuals by the mid-1980s.
In June 2025, following years of dedicated service, the SASH Board of Directors entrusted the continuation of their legacy to Shropshire MHS. This partnership ensures that supported housing remains available to those who need it most in our community.
Today, SASH provides supported accommodation in both Shrewsbury and Craven Arms, with all residents able to access the wide range of mental health services offered by Shropshire MHS at their Abbey Foregate offices.
