Signposts was formed in the early 80's, when a group of concerned local people came together to tackle the growing challenge of homelessness. With the support of a local housing association, in 1985 they opened a property with sixteen bedrooms, which provided Luton's first designated accommodation for people experiencing homelessness. Signposts has grown considerably since then, and now has thirteen properties providing 182 bed spaces. We have developed our expertise and procedures to enable us to support and empower people going through tough times. Our ongoing challenge is to change the publicly-held negative perceptions of homelessness, and to allow the people that live at Signposts to develop to their utmost potential.
