One of the most visible forms of homelessness is rough sleeping. You may see someone who is sleeping on the streets, on transport, bus stops, doorways and abandoned buildings. Birmingham has a stark visibility of rough sleepers that are widespread across the whole city and not just isolated in the city centre.
With many factors causing people to end up homeless and sleeping rough, we believe that if all services worked well together we can all help prevent rough sleeping. We are one of the many providers that can help with placing people in an emergency situation. We have a team who work out of hours to support agencies, such as the police to house a rough sleeper on an emergency basis.
If you give us a call on 0121 439 9190 we can support a rough sleeper with complex needs overnight. We take referrals until 11 pm every night to support this pandemic. We want to end this cycle of helplessness.
If you would like to move into one of our supported accommodation, please call us on 0121 439 9190 and speak to member of our team.
Most of the people who live in our supported accommodation are entitled to housing benefit that covers the rent. A calculation will be made on how much rent you will have to pay – our support team will help you with this. There is an additional small service charge that will not be covered by benefits.
The weekly service charge is your contribution to the utilities and towards the support you get. Paying service charges demonstrates you understand the importance of paying bills which will help you budget better when you move onto you permanent housing
Service charges are charged weekly. Most of our residents either pay weekly or set up a monthly standing order with their banks
