Insurance for Ex-Offender Accommodation & Supported Housing Providers
Specialist Insurance for CAS1, CAS2 & CAS3 Providers, Probation Services, Charities, Housing Associations & Landlords
Introduction
At SRS Insurance, we specialise in arranging insurance for organisations providing accommodation and support for ex-offenders, prison leavers and vulnerable individuals throughout the UK.
Whether you operate Community Accommodation Services (CAS1, CAS2 or CAS3), deliver supported accommodation under contracts with Probation Services, the Ministry of Justice, Local Authorities, Housing Associations or Charities, or own properties leased to supported accommodation providers, we understand the specialist risks associated with this sector.
We also arrange insurance for landlords, freeholders, property investors and housing associations, ensuring both accommodation providers and property owners benefit from insurance specifically designed for supported accommodation.
With over 25 years’ experience, we work with specialist UK and Lloyd’s insurers who understand higher-risk residential accommodation.
