Safer Off The Streets
We're proud to be part of the Safer Off The Streets programme, which aims to end street homelessness in Peterborough.
The initiative brings together organisations from voluntary, faith, community and public service agencies to help those sleeping rough on the city's streets.
Fay Hirel, our Director of Homeownership and Specialised Services is a Trustee of Safer Of The Streets Peterborough. We already run a number of initiatives in Peterborough to combat homelessness, including The New Haven which is our 12-week short stay direct access hostel. The scheme accepts referrals from customers directly and helps them address the issues which have led to homelessness.
