The Witness Support Scheme, a national pilot that grew out of the Waltham Forest Safety Net Witness Support Scheme, will be launched on 25 November.
Online forum RaceAction Net is to launch a toolkit to help agencies set up the scheme.
The Housing Corporation has given £25,500 to help the scheme go national. It has also attracted interest from the Home Office.
Barnsley, Walsall, Dover and Hillingdon councils have signed up to the scheme. Devon & Cornwall Housing Association and arm’s-length management organisation City West Homes have hinted they may join.
