What Threshold Housing does

Threshold Housing operates as Jigsaw Support, the support services division of Jigsaw Homes Group, a Community Benefit Society and registered social housing provider headquartered in Ashton-under-Lyne, United Kingdom. Founded in July 2019, Jigsaw Support consolidated the group's existing homelessness prevention, domestic abuse, employability, supported accommodation, and community outreach services under a single brand. Sub-brands include Bridges (domestic violence support), Motiv8 (employability programme), Housing First (permanent housing for rough sleepers with complex needs), Housing Advice (homelessness prevention in Tameside and Knowsley), Live Well in Later Life (older residents' programme), and Hoarders Helping Hoarders (peer support). The division operates across North West England and the East Midlands, with offices in Ashton-under-Lyne, Leigh, and a new scheme at Clover House in Manchester's Ardwick area.

The organisation delivers services primarily through commissioned contracts with local authorities (Tameside Council, Manchester City Council), Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Homes England, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). Service recipients include homeless and at-risk individuals, survivors of domestic abuse, unemployed residents, older adults, and people affected by hoarding behaviours. Outcomes reported include 7,500+ people supported through Motiv8 employability projects, 3,100+ people helped by Bridges since 2013, and 82 families re-housed during the lockdown period.

Revenue is generated through a combination of social housing rent on the parent group's 38,000+ managed homes and government-commissioned support services. The parent Jigsaw Homes Group reported turnover of £235m+ for the financial year April 2024 to March 2025, across approximately 1,470 staff. Pricing is not publicly disclosed as the entity operates as a registered charity. Distribution occurs via local authority housing registers, partner agency referrals (NHS, mental health services, voluntary organisations), and direct commissioning contracts. The business is structurally insulated from commercial market dynamics but heavily exposed to UK central and devolved government funding cycles.
