Who we are

Homeless Oxfordshire is the county’s largest not-for-profit provider of accommodation for people experiencing homelessness.

We also provide a wide range of specialist support services beyond bricks and mortar.

Our residents are mothers, brothers, aunties, cousins. They are artists, cooks, teachers, veterans. Their lives have been shaped by trauma and disadvantage, and we offer an open door when they need it most.

Our support helps people rebuild their lives.

Our impact

2023-2024

Over the last year our work made a difference every day, as the numbers show.
Even the small things had a positive impact on the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

Jim's story

Probably the most helpful aspects of the support I received was the continuity of care and support – and a persistent key worker, which I needed. I was supported to detox and then referred into a housing project, where I am doing well. I have gratitude and a real sense of purpose to my life now.

Faye's story

When I came to Homeless Oxfordshire I was very depressed and my confidence was at rock bottom… At the Step-Down project I had regular one-to-one sessions with my support worker, and the team showed me consistency, which I needed. Slowly I felt more able to let my guard down and began to open up to the team there, which was a big step for me.
