HOUSING FOR PRISON LEAVERS
Accommodation for prison leavers
Search accommodation advertised for prison leavers and people with offending histories, including supported, transitional and shared options.
Plan the referral
Professional teams can select a vacancy and submit structured information for assessment.
Track progress
Follow referral stages from submission through assessment, offer and move-in.
Finding accommodation after release
Accommodation can be an important part of resettlement, but eligibility, risk management, licence conditions and funding vary. Search early where possible and give the provider enough accurate information to assess whether its property and support model are suitable.
RoomsNow does not override statutory housing duties, probation processes, MAPPA arrangements, safeguarding procedures or professional risk assessment.
Information for professional referrers
Confirm the provider's exclusions, staffing, location suitability, curfew or house rules, support offer and referral documents. Share sensitive information only where it is necessary, lawful and proportionate for assessment.
The provider remains responsible for its acceptance decision and ongoing service; the referrer remains responsible for their professional and organisational duties.
