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

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.

One Newham

The Renewal Programme is a founding member of a new organisation called One Newham. The One Newham Vision is to create a strong and collaborative Voluntary and Community Sector which puts the people of Newham at its heart.

Our history

Newham Community Renewal Programme Ltd was founded in 1971 by the Reverend Clifford Hill, the Reverend Ted Finch and the Reverend Roland Joiner. Today the charity’s trustees, staff, volunteers and beneficiaries reflect the diversity of Newham itself. We pride ourselves on offering support without judging why or how someone came to a position where they needed support.
