Accommodation
Good quality accommodation is essential to making sure people can escape rough sleeping, and reduces the risk of people ending up back on the streets.
Without suitable accommodation options, people affected by rough sleeping face a harder time moving away from the streets for good. What’s worse, those recently moved off the streets are at a far greater risk of returning there.
To work effectively, individual accommodation options need to operate as part of a wider system, with different offerings best suited to different people at different points, and depending on an individual’s own support needs.
We provide a range of accommodation as part of a wider support system. This includes assessment centres to appraise people’s needs as soon as they come off the streets, and to then identify the most suitable next steps. It includes high support housing, which responds to those in urgent need. And we also provide access to secure, long term housing, where people can fully regain their independence and move away from homelessness for good.
Assessing people's needs quickly
Once our outreach teams have helped people off the streets, our assessment centres have a vital role to play in helping individuals to make sure they’re able to stay off the streets for good.
