As with employment, a lack of housing is a key
factor in many cases that lead to offending behaviour. London
Probation Trust seeks to assist offenders into settled and
suitable accommodation in order to provide a positive
framework for effective rehabilitation, resettlement and risk
management.
Settled accommodation can provide stablility
to a previously unstructured life and act as a springboard towards
other positive outcomes such as community integration, family
reconciliation and access to work or training opportunities.
We work with Local Authorities and the
Third Sector to provide housing assessment, support
and accommodation referral services to offenders, delivered by
specialist housing support staff. They have knowledge of
local housing options available that assist offenders into
settled and suitable accommodation.

housing services for offenders please contact the London Probation
