Happy Life Living is a Christian, community-rooted mission providing supported housing for people who need a second chance — giving them the stability, dignity and care to rebuild their lives and return to society with purpose.
Supported Housing
Nottingham & East Midlands
Happy Life Living was started out of faith. We believe every person is made in the image of God and that nobody is beyond a fresh start. Our Christian mission is to walk alongside people coming out of custody, hostels, crisis and hardship, and to help them rehabilitate, rebuild and return to society as valued members of the community.
This is a real mission, and Nottingham is our home too. We have our community's best interests at heart: safer homes, safer streets, and people given a genuine reason and the support to stay on the right path.
“I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.”Matthew 25:35–36 (WEB)
This is the heart of what we do: opening our doors, meeting practical needs, and standing with people that others may have given up on.
“He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)
Freedom is more than walking out of a cell or a hostel. We help people build the skills, routine and support that make a new life last.
A safe, furnished home and a stable foundation, so people can breathe again, heal and start planning a future.
Accountability, life and work skills, fitness and driving opportunities that build a new routine and real confidence.
Guiding people back into society as good neighbours, workers and friends, with the wider community's wellbeing always in mind.
Our faith is the reason we do this work, never a condition of living with us. We welcome and support everyone, of any faith or none, with the same care and respect.
Safe, secure accommodation for those fleeing domestic abuse, providing a place to heal and rebuild in Nottingham and the East Midlands.
Supporting female refugees and asylum seekers with safe housing and tailored support as they settle and build a new life.
We work closely with councils, Framework, the Probation Service and charities to place individuals quickly.
Anyone in need of a supported environment to help them regain independence and confidence.
At Happy Life Living, we believe that stable housing is the foundation of everything — health, employment, relationships and wellbeing. We provide more than just a roof.

Whether you're a referral partner, a professional support worker, or an individual seeking housing — we're here to help. Referrals are welcome from Framework, councils, probation and support services, and self-referrals are welcome too.
