Aspire Oxfordshire - Housing Projects

In Oxfordshire, there is a critical lack of suitable move-on housing for people affected by homelessness and rough sleeping. Aspire are working with housing associations and other partners to provide innovative responses to Oxfordshire's housing and homelessness crisis. These include:

• Aspire’s supported housing for up to 35 people experiencing homelessness in central Oxford, including a dedicated Women’s Project
• Supported housing, employment and personal development guidance for people with experience of the criminal justice system in east Oxford, provided by Aspire since 2019
• ‘Housing First’ projects in Cherwell, West Oxfordshire, and South Oxfordshire, offering intensive support to individuals with experience of rough sleeping, in partnership with local councils and housing associations
• The ‘Our House’ community housing project in partnership with Cottsway and West Oxfordshire District Council, to provide employment and independent living support for young adults in Witney, launched in 2020
• ‘Housing Opportunities Made Easy’, a social lettings pilot project for Oxford City matching individuals we support with private landlords' accommodation to improve the availability of safe, affordable housing for those in need
