| Recipient Org: Description | Elmbridge Rentstart (ER) is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee established in 2001 supporting residents of Elmbridge who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, by providing and assisting in the provision of housing, advice, support and practical assistance. ER supports single homeless people who are not entitled to statutory support and are termed ‘non-priority’. Their only housing option is the private rental sector, but they face multiple barriers to achieving this e.g. a lack of savings for deposits or rent in advance, physical and mental health issues, addiction problems, and unemployment. They also have difficulty in finding a landlord willing to accept them. Each client is assessed by trained staff, who then work to find an immediate solution (often in terms of access to emergency accommodation for a few weeks, while working to find the right longer-term housing). ER helps people into employment and encourages them to join the ER savings scheme, enabling them to save a protected pot of money that they can use for a deposit for a property of their own once they are ready to move on from ER’s support. Over the last year ER have given advice to 384 vulnerable people and have gone on to house 154 clients. Of the 154 housed: 31% had been rough sleepers, 45% have mental health issues, 7% have a criminal record, 29% have drug and/or alcohol issues. In the last year 28% of clients started work and 32% started to save each month towards their own future. Nov 2019 |
