For homeless people, or those at risk of homelessness, finding employment and housing opportunities can feel like an uphill battle, even more so if they’re affected by physical, mental health or substance misuse issues. Providence Row works with homeless and vulnerably housed people in East London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice, recovery and learning and training. Our aim is to ensure that people who are so often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life. Central to our work are our core values of Compassion, Respect, Inclusiveness, Empowerment and Justice. These inform the content, style and delivery of all our services.
The Routes to Roots project was established in partnership with The Hospital Pathway Team at the Royal London Hospital (RLH) in October 2013. The project supports vulnerable people, who often have significant physical health needs to prevent them from being discharged back into a cycle of homelessness or risk at the end of their treatment. Through advice and support from our dedicated and experienced team, people’s housing, financial and health situations are improved and their long term prospects for recovery are greatly enhanced. The project has been instrumental in reducing A&E and hospital readmissions for this group alongside sustainment of accommodation.
