Where we work

Homelessness doesn’t have a postcode. Sadly, it’s everywhere. We make sure Oxfordshire is covered, working across the county in close partnership with other charities, housing providers, statutory services and all local authorities.

O'Hanlon-House

All of our clients are allocated a keyworker who will help them create their own support plan and link them with relevant professionals. So regardless of their struggle – drugs, alcohol, mental health, there’s always an expert to listen and advise.

Whatever stage of life they’re at, we remind clients that they deserve to relax and enjoy some downtime. So we run regular events and activities to keep everyone positive and stimulated.

As well as providing accommodation the hostel also supports homeless people via SWEP, accommodating an additional 10 people during severe weather.

Banbury Hive

28 beds within Self-contained accommodation in Banbury providing a range of support.

Community Accommodation

Opening doors and creating opportunities is our main focus. And our move-on projects are one of the best examples.

Designed especially for homeless people over 18, this set of over 27 properties across Oxford and Abingdon can accommodate up to 144 people who are ready to make a positive change in their lives.

Women Only Project

We are one of only 11% of accommodation projects able offer women only provision within their service across the UK.

The women we accommodate and support have complex needs including child welfare, family and relationship breakdown, offending behaviour, historic abuse, bereavement, substance misuse, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, childhood trauma and/or self-harm and interrelating problems that contribute to women’s homelessness and presents barriers to recovery. Homeless Oxfordshire offers

• women-only spaces
• Supportive communal living experiences
• safe and trusted environments
• trauma-informed approach, based on empathy, consistency, boundaries and an acknowledgement of the reality of each individual’s life
• strengths based approach that fosters empowerment and choice
