Supported Housing

What is Supported Housing?

Renewal Programme Supported Housing provides specialised support for people who have been homeless and who need some support to address the issues they are grappling with before they can manage to successfully live independently in the community.

This includes people with drug or alcohol addiction, low levels of mental ill health or mild learning disabilities, people who have experienced domestic violence or trafficking, and people coming out of the criminal justice or care systems.

We support people to gain the professional services they need alongside day to day living skills such as managing their finances and being able to cook for themselves.

Our aim is to equip tenants with the skills and confidence needed for independent living and then to support them in finding suitable accommodation.

You can support your community by donating to any of the following appeals:

We have two hostels:

St. Georges Avenue Hostel

Our St Georges Hostel provides accommodation for 11 young people aged under 25 with low levels of support need. Read more

Barking Road Hostel

Our Barking Road Hostel provides accommodation for 31 homeless people with alcohol and substance misuse issues and housing management. Read more

Contact & Where to find us

Who we are

We are Newham Community Renewal Programme, a registered charity. We work with the community in Newham and beyond to transform and inspire lives. We empower people to change their lives through advocacy, education, temporary accommodation and a wide range of positive activities.

What we do

Our services are taken up by over 5,000 people a year in Newham who are facing challenges in their life because they might be a carer, a migrant or refugee, homeless, or unable to communicate because English isn't a language they know.

How can I access RAMP services?

If you would like to refer someone to The Refugee & Migrant Project or if you need support yourself click here.

Who is eligible for the Refugee and Migrant services?

Due to lack of funding, it has become necessary for our Refugee and Migrant Project (RAMP) to focus on service users with the greatest need. We are only able to support individuals and families who are destitute.
