Caritas Anchor House

Caritas provide a home for over 250 residents per year, and their holistic support structure also addresses health and wellbeing, financial management, education, volunteering, back-to-work preparation and support to achieve and sustain independent living. In 2020 Caritas provided 275 people a home and support, of whom 116 moved on to independent living.

Their Rough Sleeper Assessment Hub was launched in December 2018. Over the last 12 months, they have supported 115 people directly from the streets, with 100% of the residents who have moved on from this service sustaining their subsequent tenancies thereafter.
