Housing, Advise, Resettlement and Prevention HARP Connect Housing, Advise, Resettlement and Prevention

HARP The St Mungo’s HARP Connect service is funded by London Councils. The aim to is offer a PAN London service to ex-offenders We operate from London Prisons, CRC’s and Local authorities

HARP Connect Regionalised approach St Mungo’s (HARP) Connect North West London North East London Covering HMP Pentonville, Wormwood Scrubs Surgeries held in over 10 North based Probation offices South West London South East London Covering HMP Brixton, Wandsworth, High Down, Highpoint, BronzeField, Down view Surgeries held in over 8 South based Probation offices

HARP Connect WHAT WE DO Search for PRS accommodation and help with part of the clients deposit We support landlords but not acting on their behalf Offer holistic support including family mediation and reconnection Refer to employment, education or volunteering services Support to sustain existing or new accommodation Support client’s facing eviction Work with complex needs

HARP Connect What we don’t do Do not find emergency accommodation unless found by the council to be in priority need Have access to any housing stock We refuse to pay a client’s deposit if it’s above the LHA rate Do not pay 100% of deposit cost Work with clients who present with just housing needs Work with clients who are not single

HARP Connect - In Community As well as working from a number of London prisons, HARP connect workers will also reach into a number of Probation/ CRC offices. Referrals are received from Responsible officers in CRC’s, In prison from staff and Local authorities Every client referred will receive housing options and advise We help clients find and secure PRS accommodation and help with the deposit We assist clients with budgeting and debt management by advising or signposting to the relevant agency Assisting clients to obtain employment or volunteering opportunities

Community Support Available to ex-offenders through London CRC, Prisons and Probation Providing emergency tenancy and NFA support Supported referral to local services Surgeries at local CRC offices for vulnerable clients

Why Do We Do It ? 1/3 of offenders lose their accommodation on imprisonment. 1/3 of offenders have nowhere to go on release Short term and repeat offenders are more likely to be homeless when they are released Housing is recognised as one of the key factors in reducing re-offending
