Project aims
OHM’s flagship project supports people experiencing homelessness who have no recourse to public funds - they literally have nowhere else to turn. A last resort to help them move on from the trauma of homelessness and lead productive lives.
Project description
Our project is collaborative and partnership focussed – housing and supporting people with NRPF, filling a critical gap in provision that others can’t. It is all-encompassing - offering immigration advice, somewhere to live, support to help people thrive in their home, support to find training and employment… all leading to people to become contributing members of our society.
We set up the project with a team of specialists, offering personalised assistance to help people resolve the complex issues that led to them becoming homeless. Every client that we work with, housed or unhoused, is given a Subsistence Allowance to help them work towards independence.
We are currently housing 15 guests and offer support and advice to people on our waiting list. This means that we are sometimes able to help people gain their status, even when unhoused.
The only eligibility requirement is NRPF status - some guests will be with us for a long time, but a good proportion can be helped to gain status and move on (freeing up their space) and making their future a reality.
Any one of our guests has the chance to make a fresh start, get ready for work and become part of our community.
