Local context
Housing demand is high across England. Official statistics show around 1.34 million households were on local authority housing registers at 31 March 2025, and 134,210 households were in temporary accommodation at 31 December 2025. Birmingham City Council says it manages around 54,000 social housing properties, including around 5,000 supported housing properties, and Birmingham Choice reports it receives over 500 housing applications a week with assessment taking around eight weeks. Signpost is not a council housing register. It gives people and providers another way to search for and list available accommodation.
Good to know
Supported accommodation can include help with tenancy skills, appointments or daily living. The support level depends on the provider and placement.
Some placements need a referral from a support worker, local authority or another agency. Listings show when a referral is required.
Universal Credit or Housing Benefit may apply depending on the provider and your eligibility. Check the listing and confirm with the provider.
