a proven model

An innovative approach to ending homelessness in your local area

Since 2018, Social Bite Villages have proven there is a better way to do temporary accommodation. Our villages in Edinburgh and South Lanarkshire demonstrate that small, supported communities combining high‑quality homes, shared spaces and on‑site support deliver stronger outcomes than hostels or B&Bs.

Building on this track record, our Village Franchise Model sets out a clear, practical roadmap for councils and partners to replicate and scale what works, transforming unused land into dignified, effective housing in communities across the UK.

We’re looking to partner with local authorities across the UK who are interested in working together to deliver a Village in their area.

Our Village model is well‑established, with a proven track record of providing high‑quality, supported temporary accommodation that helps people move on successfully. Each Village is developed in close partnership with councils and local services, shaped around local need and existing pathways.
