Everyone deserves a safe and stable home – but for too many young people, this simply isn’t the reality.
Our supported accommodation provides more than just shelter. We offer a safe place to call home while empowering young people to develop the skills, resilience and confidence to move forward with their lives.
We run supported accommodation in London and the South East, the North East and Northwest of England, in partnership with local authorities.
We specialise in working in communities where poverty and unemployment have resulted in a cycle of social exclusion and high levels of homelessness.
Our accommodation services are typically small, shared homes with communal kitchens and living areas that foster connection and a sense of community.
Each resident has a dedicated progression coach who helps them develop the skills, confidence and resilience to live independently – from budgeting and cooking to accessing education, training and employment.
Last year, we provided safe and supported accommodation for 584 people facing homelessness, and 84% of people living in our supported accommodation successfully moved on to appropriate longer-term housing.
Supported accommodation is more than a roof over a young person’s head – it offers a foundation for a brighter future.
With stable housing and tailored support, young people facing homelessness can build life skills, grow in confidence and plan for what comes next. It’s a vital step in breaking the cycle of homelessness – providing not just safety and stability, but the tools to move forward and thrive.
Each client who benefits from a Depaul UK service is provided with a comprehensive welcome pack, which includes essential information about the support available to them, details of their rights and responsibilities, contact information for key staff members, and guidance on how to access additional resources and services
