Why We Can't Solve Homelessness Alone (And Don't Want To)

We are proud to collaborate with local authorities, charities, and community organisations to address homelessness across Nottingham. Learn more about our community partnership approach to supported accommodation, and why it's so necessary to fight homelessness in our community.

Community collaboration is at the heart of René House's approach to addressing homelessness in Nottingham. As a Community Interest Company (CIC), community partnership is literally part of our organisational DNA.

Our Partnership Network.

René House is lucky enough to collaborate with Local Authorities, Support Service Providers, and the Private Rented Sector to provide quality housing and support for vulnerable adults and families. This collaborative approach recognises that homelessness requires a team effort to create real, lasting change.

We work closely with:

  • Local authorities and housing departments
  • Job centres and employment services
  • Charities and community organisations
  • Healthcare providers and mental health services
  • Probation services and criminal justice agencies


These partnerships ensure our residents receive wraparound support addressing all aspects of their journey toward independence.

Community Impact.

Since 2018, we've implemented our unique methodology of support based on industry standards, continuously enhancing and adapting our services.

Our community-focused approach has produced some really significant outcomes:

  • Residents gaining qualifications and securing employment
  • Improved mental health and wellbeing outcomes
  • Successful social integration and family reconnection
  • Reduced reoffending rates among ex-offender residents


Supporting Our Mission.

There are many ways the local Nottinghamshire community can support René House's mission:

Corporate Partnerships:

  • Making us your "Non-profit of the Year"
  • Cause-related marketing campaigns
  • Staff volunteering opportunities
  • Fundraising events and team building activities

Individual Support:

  • One-off or ongoing donations
  • Fundraising events
  • Spreading awareness about our services
  • Professional expertise and skills sharing

The Need in Nottingham.

We know there are high numbers of vulnerable adults who need supported accommodation in and around Nottingham. Unfortunately, there simply aren't enough bed spaces to house them all. Community support helps us reach more people and provide the platform they need for positive change.
