Homeless Oxfordshire
Homeless Oxfordshire provides an open door for lives shaped by trauma and disadvantage, offering safety and stability when it's needed most. Our support helps people experiencing homelessness to rebuild their lives. We are Oxfordshire’s largest not-for-profit provider of accommodation for people experiencing homelessness, with projects across the county offering a range of housing to suit the different needs and stages of our residents’ experience of homelessness. Our residents are mothers, brothers, aunties, cousins. They are artists, cooks, teachers, veterans. Everyone’s route into homelessness is unique, usually with many different contributing factors. That’s why we treat every person’s case individually, ensuring they have access to the tailored support they need; whether that’s healthcare, support overcoming addiction, psychologically-informed therapy, or accessing the financial benefits they are entitled to. Our skilled and highly trained support workers, many of whom have lived experience of homelessness themselves, form trusting relationships with service users and walk alongside them every step of the way on their journey through homelessness, for as long as it takes.
