Meet latch, a housing provider in England that supports people who are struggling. Latch helps out by charging low rents and supporting people to meet the challenges of daily living.

latch was founded in 1989, when services like this were publicly funded by taxpayers. The public funding has since been cut or drastically reduced in the name of “austerity.” It is not because latch is a bad operator. latch has found other sources of funding to maintain and expand its operations.
