Two Home REIT tenants enter creditors' voluntary liquidation

Supportive Homes CIC was described as «non-performing», with the liquidation set to «unlock the ability for the company to re-tenant properties or carry out other asset management initiatives».

It was also noted that discussions with prospective tenants to take on leases have «already commenced».

Before it went into liquidation, Pathway Homes Group was one of Home REIT's largest aggregators, leasing properties to a number of tenant groups, which in turn provided rooms to vulnerable people. 

Supportive Homes CIC was one of these tenant groups, alongside the now liquidated Gen Liv UK CIC, Dawson Housing and Community Restore CIC, which was only incorporated in October 2022 after Dawson Housing relinquished its leases.
