HOUSING ADVICE
We have a dedicated member of staff, with support from others, focused on providing advice for people with regards to everything associated with their housing needs. We also have close working relationships with housing providers within the city and can refer service users to the correct agency as and when appropriate.
ENGAGEMENT WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE STREET HOMELESS
At the Good Shepherd, we aim engage with people who are street homeless and offer them an opportunity to get back on their feet.
Delivering on three mornings a week, and Saturday’s once a month, the ‘Breakfast Club’ begins with outreach support on the streets of Wolverhampton, building connections with people before inviting them back to the Good Shepherd.
Once at the Good Shepherd, people who are street homeless can have a cooked breakfast, a hot shower, clean clothing and one-to-one support to help them into stable accommodation and other life changing provisions. The project works closely with partners including P3 Charity and Recovery Near You to provide joined-up support to access services.
MOVE ON AND PREVENTION SERVICE
The Move on and Prevention Service, managed by Good Shepherd, is a dedicated initiative aimed at supporting individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or at immediate risk of losing their tenancy.
The project aims to house people in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) and operates in close partnership with local agencies, including private landlords and the City of Wolverhampton Council.
Through these partnerships, the service sources affordable, quality accommodation in the PRS, offers rapid and practical support for tenants and landlords and provides ongoing tenancy sustainment and prevention work to ensure lasting outcomes.

Landlords

GENERAL SUPPORT
Aside from the specific projects aimed at helping people find and sustain their accommodation, we also provide help on top of our regular food service. We can offer people who are experiencing homelessness in Wolverhampton a postal address, shower and laundry facilities as well as emergency clothing, practical advice and one-to-one support.
As well as bringing a variety of different agencies into the Centre, we can also signpost and refer individuals and families to partner agencies across the city.
If you see someone sleeping rough, you can connect them to local services by going to https://www.streetlink.org.uk/ or via the Streetlink app.
