CRISIS funds new project to help homeless accross London

Penrose announces new project with Crisis
MARCH 17 2011

Penrose has been awarded £50,000 to help homeless people across London find a new place to live.

Penrose’s Private Accommodation Sourcing Scheme (PASS) has been awarded a £50,000 grant from Crisis to provide Private Rental Sector housing access across London for those that are ready for reintegration and independent living. Those to benefit from the scheme will have been Penrose clients for a minimum of 6 months and will be classed as “hard to place” due to previous anti-social behaviour and chaotic lifestyles. Penrose clients are largely those of BME background (78%) and ex-offenders from Penrose supported living schemes and referrals from local MAPPA services.

As part of PASS scheme, clients will attend Penrose’s tenancy sustainment course before taking up their new tenancy and clients and landlords will receive up to 6 months tenancy support to ensure any issues are resolved. This includes relapse prevention and debt management to prevent tenancy abandonment. Penrose will also work with partners Vision Housing who will “fast-track” move –ons for clients with low/no support needs who would benefit from immediate access to accommodation.
