Rewriting
Homelessness
René House was founded in 2018 by Theo Brown & Tiffany Brierley and is the product of a joint desire to start a property business that gives more than just a roof above someone's head
How it started...
For a long time now, homelessness in Nottingham has been on a upwards trend. We both wanted to start our own business doing something that made the most of our experience, but also made a difference. Combining this with us both also being from Nottingham, creating René House just made sense.
We saw a gap where there is room to create lovely homes but also provide the much needed, tailored support to those who live within our accommodation.
How we've grown...
For some people experiencing homelessness, the lack of housing isn't the only reason they've found themselves in this tough situation, this is where we focus our efforts - supporting people.
Since 2018, we have housed and supported hundreds of individuals and families, many of whom have gone on to make positive changes to their lives.
We have grown our team to a group of dedicated individuals with their own experiences to help us deliver the best possible service to our residents. As a team, it's important to us to ensure each resident is heard, considered and supported to achieve their personal goals.
Where we're going...
We believe that given the right environment and support network, people can achieve anything they put their mind to. René House provides a platform for vulnerable people in Nottingham to do just that.
