Latch
Formed in 1989, Latch specialises in the refurbishment of derelict and run-down houses in the Chapeltown, Harehills and Burley areas of Leeds in order to provide supported housing for people aged 18-64 who are homeless or in accommodation need. All Latch's tenants commit to a support programme in order to help them achieve successful tenancies before they move on to independent living.
The charity, which employs 12 people, currently manages 66 housing units across Leeds. 34 of these are owned by LATCH and the remainder are leased from various partners such as Connect Housing, Unity Housing, Together Housing, Leeds and Yorkshire Housing and Leeds City Council.
