Service Description
Founded as Oxford Night Shelter in 1985, Homeless Oxfordshire is the county’s largest not-for-profit provider of supported accommodation for people experiencing homelessness; providing an open door and offering safety, stability and support when it is needed most. Homeless Oxfordshire’s specialist support helps rebuild the lives of people whose complex needs are often the result of lifelong disadvantage and challenges such as poverty, childhood trauma, substance and alcohol use, institutional care, and deep social exclusion.
