Supporting those who are rough sleeping in Corby
We opened our doors late January 2020 and then the pandemic hit 5 weeks later…
This service was due to be a mixture of short term, shared accommodation, with 16 beds to get individuals off the streets, and another 5-7 ‘move on’ beds for those who need longer term support to help them to learn live independently and maintain a tenancy.
When the lockdown arrived, and government advice changed, the service changed into a 9 bed bed, single bedroom facility for rough sleepers, for a medium-long term period. Our staff work with these individuals to help them make positive choices in order to obtain secure and permanent accommodation.
Whilst residing with us, different individuals require different levels of support. Below is a list of some of the things that our staff and volunteers support with:
For all referrals, we do a risk assessment based on the individual, the project and the current residents.
As part of the referral to the house, potential residents will be asked a series of questions which should be answered honestly so that we can best support the individual.
All our referrals to our Corby accommodation provision must be done through Corby Borough Council. At present, we are unaware how the local authority changes will affect us at this stage and you should get in touch with them in the first instance.
Unfortunately we are almost always full so the council operate a waiting list for the provision.
To get in touch with the council, please call the housing options team on 01536 464000.
Do you have any rooms free?
We are unlikely to have any spaces tonight as we nearly always full and operating a waiting list. Please get in touch with Corby Borough Council to get referred and on the waiting list, or to find out about spare rooms.
How do I get referred?
