At Homeless House CIC, we work with young women who are either leaving prison or dangerously close to entering it. These are women navigating trauma, addiction, exploitation, and homelessness often with no safety net and no one left to call.

What We Delivered
With Allen Lane’s funding, we supported over 50 women across Greater Manchester. Our mentors, all with lived experience, offered consistent, trauma-informed support from three months pre-release through six months post-release, and to those at risk of custody through outreach, safeguarding, and detox pathways.

Yesterday, the headlines told a story that frontline teams have known for years. A man, 36 years old, was found crushed to death after climbing into a recycling bin outside a retail store in Chester. He was seeking shelter. Safety. Maybe sleep. What he found was a system that didn’t see him until it was…

This year has been full. Of frontline grit. Of prison classroom working reviews and youth councils. Of designing with youth councils and systems quietly built behind the scenes. Most of that work has lived in conversations, documents, and design flows, and it is almost time to bring it to light. In early 2026, we’ll be…
