FAQs
Q:
“How do I get accommodation with René House?"
A:
If you would like to be considered for accommodation then we will need to receive a completed referral form completed by a support worker or someone from an organisation you are being supported by. We will arrange to meet you to make sure that we are the right fit for each other and if so, accommodation will be offered as soon as possible.
Q:
"Can I refer myself for accommodation?"
A:
No we're sorry, we require a referral form to be completed by a support worker or someone from an organisation you're being supported by. This helps us better understand your needs and situation.
Q:
"What are the houses like?"
A:
Most of our properties are shared houses with between 2-6 people. You will have your own room and in some properties, your own bathroom. Kitchens and living areas will be shared with your housemates. We do also have a small number of self-contained units where you don't share any facilities.
Q:
"Who will I live with?"
A:
René House residents are people who need support moving forward with their lives. To be allocated a bed space with us, everyone goes through our process of referral and assessment which gives us a chance to get to know the people we house as much as possible. We also use this process to match people together as best as we can in the properties. As long as you are open to maintaining a shared level of respect between your housemates, you'll do great!
Q:
"What support do I get?"
A:
Whilst in our accommodation, you will have access to a support worker who will be in contact with you regularly each week with a mix of face-to-face and over the phone communication. Your support will be based around key areas for development which we will assess based on information we receive from you and your support network as well as our own assessment. The emphasis may change during your time with us but our support package is built to be led by you.

Things to know before referring someone
We currently have different types of properties in different locations across Nottingham for potential residents 18+ years old. To be considered for accommodation with us, you (or the person being referred to us) must:
Be classed as "homeless" – this includes those facing homelessness (eg. facing eviction) and those living in unsuitable accommodation (sofa surfing, sleeping in a car etc.), as well as those rough sleeping
Have some level of support needs that makes it difficult for you to live unsupported
Have someone willing to give a reference, like a previous landlord or support service worker (Housing Options, a Support Charity, Job Centre, Housing/Support Provider etc.)
Be eligible to access housing benefits
