Temporary Housing Solutions
CivicStar© Temporary Housing Solutions (UK)
Local Authorities are increasingly reliant on external partners to meet housing demand, particularly within Temporary Accommodation.
CivicStar works with councils to identify and mobilise suitable accommodation through existing portfolios and partner networks, reducing reliance on high-cost hotels and private rentals. We take a structured approach to aligning supply with demand, ensuring that accommodation is both cost-effective and compliant with housing standards.
Our focus is on making better use of available assets—repurposing underutilised properties into viable, high-quality temporary housing—while also delivering new accommodation where required. Working with established funding partners, contractors, and developers, we support the delivery of schemes designed to meet specific local authority requirements. We provide end-to-end support, from property identification and development through to implementation and ongoing management, ensuring delivery is coordinated, efficient, and aligned to wider housing priorities.
Through this approach, partnerships become a practical mechanism for managing demand, improving supply, and supporting longer-term system stability.
Partnership Delivery
Effective housing partnerships require structure, clarity, and active management to deliver consistent results across both existing supply and new provision.
We establish the frameworks, relationships, and delivery approach needed to ensure that partners are aligned to shared objectives, operating cohesively, and contributing to overall system performance. This includes coordinating activity across Registered Providers, funders, contractors, and developers, ensuring that each part of the system is working towards clearly defined outcomes.
Our approach brings together asset utilisation, new development, and partner engagement into a single, integrated model. This ensures that supply is not only identified and mobilised effectively, but also expanded where required through targeted development aligned to local authority need.
By maintaining clear oversight of delivery, performance, and partner contribution, we ensure that housing partnerships operate with consistency, accountability, and a strong focus on results.

Housing partnerships must deliver more than access to supply—they must support sustained system performance and long-term stability.
Our approach ensures that partnerships are structured, accountable, and aligned to clearly defined outcomes. By bringing together existing assets, new development, and delivery partners, we create a coordinated model that responds effectively to demand while maintaining control of cost and quality.
This ensures that partnership activity is not fragmented or reactive, but a reliable and scalable part of housing delivery, capable of supporting both immediate pressures and future need.
The result is a housing system supported by aligned partnerships that increase supply, reduce cost pressure, and improve overall system performance.
Over time, this strengthens delivery capacity, improves placement stability, and creates greater confidence in the ability to respond to housing demand.
Through CivicStar’s integrated approach, partnerships become a key driver of sustainable housing delivery and long-term financial resilience.
CivicStar works with Local Authorities to strengthen housing partnerships, increase supply, and reduce demand and cost across the system. We provide the leadership, coordination, and delivery capability required to turn complex housing challenges into practical, sustainable solutions.
