Safe Roots Housing Cic

About Safe Roots Housing: In 2018 a group of like -minded individuals made it their mission to set up a supported accommodation programme for ex-offenders. Having worked within the field collectively for 25 years plus, the team at Safe Roots Housing identified gaps in service provision for ex-offenders and noted the lack of appropriate housing available to them upon release; thus the concept of Safe Roots Housing was born. Safe Roots Housing works with communities and individuals to provide safe environments that can be used as a platform to build positive futures. We believe every person deserves a chance at life.
