Montana's story

Hightown Montana 17

Today is Starts at Home Day 2025, a national campaign led by the National Housing Federation to highlight the essential role of supported housing—and to call for action to #SaveOurSupportedHousing.

Supported housing provides more than just a roof over someone’s head. It offers stability, safety, and the opportunity to rebuild lives. Without it, the impact on public services and communities would be significant:

  • The NHS would face 110,000 additional days of delayed hospital discharge
  • Over 41,000 more people would be at risk of homelessness

One inspiring example of supported housing in action is Montana’s story.

In this short film, Montana shares how supported housing gave her the foundation to grow, flourish, and find her future. Montana is a talented musician and wrote a song dedicated to her support worker, as featured in the video.
