Opening the door for a brighter future

Now in it’s 16th year, Hope Housing, based in Bournemouth, is a charity offering supported accommodation for the homeless. Through a tailored intensive support program, we empower individuals to reach their full potential with personalised support, guidance, career skills, and counseling.

Tina's Story

Tina, from Poole, arrived at Hope Housing after a long struggle with alcoholism. Over four years, she bravely overcame countless challenges and found purpose in a full-time role supporting autistic adults. This job allowed her to save up and move into her very first home—a dream she never thought possible. Today, Tina is thriving and still visits Hope Housing to stay connected with the community that helped her rebuild her life.
Russells Story

Russell, came to Hope Housing needing support and guidance. He had been been a drug and alcohol abuser and when Russell came to Hope, he was in the very early stages of recovery from both! Russell attended meetings, social events for residents and gained a good footfall during his 12 months. Russell, father to one also became the sole carer for his son and they have been successfully living together since leaving Hope Housing.
