Oxfordshire Homeless Movement

If you are worried about losing your home, the Homeless Prevention Service can help people to avoid homelessness by giving the tools and support to manage money, navigate benefits and build independence. 

The team works with people to understand their circumstances and challenges, so that they can provide tailored support to help take control of the situation. 

This service is available to Oxfordshire residents aged 16 and over, as well as households with non-dependent children who are living in privately rented accommodation. 

It is also available to individuals who are vulnerably housed and those experiencing ‘hidden homelessness’, such as individuals who are sofa-surfing, living in vehicles, or preparing to leave institutions, including prison, hospital or care settings. 

People can self-refer or have someone refer them in. Referrals also taken from partner agencies. The referral line can be found by clicking through to the Homeless Prevention Service on the Connection Support website.
