What we do
This service supports people on probation in their transition from prison and reintegration into community life. The aim is to build independence and resilience enabling them to live independently, and reduce reoffending.
Our Accommodation Service provides tailored advice, advocacy and practical support to help people leaving prison secure and sustain accommodation across the social and private rented sectors, with the goal of preventing homelessness.
The service operates in the East Midlands, West Midlands and North Wales.
We offer:
- Support making housing referrals to providers and local housing authorities.
- Advice and support to access private rented accommodation.
- Support to maintain current accommodation.
- Advice on access to mainstream services based on need.
- Move on support from CAS-2 and probation approved premises.
The service can be delivered face to face at local probation offices and prisons, virtually, or by telephone.
This service is grant-funded by the Ministry of Justice, aligned to the wider Commissioned Rehabilitation Services that deliver rehabilitation and resettlement interventions and services across England and Wales.
