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.

Women's Project
Homeless Oxfordshire are experiencing a 40% increase in women using their services. The women accommodated and supported have complex needs including child welfare, family and relationship breakdown, offending behaviour, historic abuse, bereavement, substance use, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, childhood trauma and/or self-harm and interrelating problems that contribute to women’s homelessness and presents barriers to recovery.
All referrals go through Oxfordshire County Council and various services. They do not accept direct referrals.
