This short film is aimed at workers and residents in supported housing schemes across London. Its key message is that moving out of a hostel and into the PRS, rather than waiting for social housing, may be the best way for people to move on with their lives.

The film has been produced for hostel managers, Supporting People bodies, local authority housing departments, homelessness agencies and others who want to contribute to transforming the culture of hostels and inspiring people to consider the PRS as a positive and sustainable route out of homelessness.

The film features interviews with Danny, who has experience of living in a hostel and has since moved into the PRS; and with Mr Ahmed, a landlord who rents his flats out to individuals who have a history of homelessness.

We are experiencing an intermittent fault with the embedded version of this film. If the film does not load in this window after 20 seconds, please go to Vimeo.com.

This film does not provide comprehensive information for workers and residents but is more designed to provoke discussion and debate. For additional information, which you may want to use alongside presenting the DVD:

• visit the Looking for PRS housing? section for a wide range of sign posting information and advice.

• Download the 'supported accommodation workshop materials' at the bottom of the 'Our Publications' section of the website. These materials can be used 'off the shelf' and adapted to run a structured workshop for workers and residents about the PRS.
