The Homelessness Transitions for Offenders (HTO) Service provides support over an extended period of time to those who have an offending history who are homeless or rough sleeping, including those who will be of No Fixed Abode upon release from custody. We provide intensive support to help you secure accommodation, prevent future homelessness and reduce reoffending.
The service enables offenders, or those with an offending history, who are also experiencing homelessness or rough sleeping, to receive intensive one-to-one support to address any barriers to accessing and securing suitable and sustainable accommodation, therefore reducing the risk of re-offending or future homelessness.
Areas of support include:
National Lottery Community Fund
The service provides a dedicated Homelessness Transitions for Offenders (HTO) Officer to assess your needs, provide housing advice, explore your housing options, and support to address any barriers that impact your access to access or sustain accommodation. The HTO Officer will work with you to create an action plan to help you take positive steps towards reaching your goals.
Anyone aged over 18 with an offending history, living in (or returning to) Leicester City, Leicestershire or Rutland, who is also rough sleeping or experiencing homelessness can access the HTO service.
