Novida vs Housing Hub
Housing Hub (from the not-for-profit Summer Foundation) and Novida both help people find accessible and supported homes. The difference is scope: Housing Hub is a specialist listing site focused on SDA and SIL vacancies and housing support; Novida includes a SIL & SDA housing search too — alongside providers, support coordinators and disability jobs, in one platform.
Where Novida goes further
Housing Hub is a specialist for homes. Novida includes SIL & SDA housing too — and adds verified providers across every support category, support coordinators and disability jobs — so your home search and your support search live in one place.
