Homelessness Relief

Orchard House

Orchard House is a modern, six bedroomed, purpose built Homelessness Relief project that provides accommodation, support, training and advice to young adults aged 16 - 25 years old in Hough Green, Widnes. Its team of support staff are trained to support individuals with complex needs. With its high staff to tenant ratio, Orchard House ensures that person centered support is always delivered.

 

By providing a stable and secure home to young individuals, we are able to assist them fulfill their promise and move to an independent future. Keen to move away from the stereotype of the homeless hostel, Cosmopolitan Housing Association and Halton's Supporting People Homeless Team worked closely with homelessness experts in the planning and building of Orchard House.
 
With excellent transport links, Orchard House provides the perfect location for tenants to attend jobs or educational courses in Widnes and its surrounding areas.
 
With its spacious and comfortable communal areas, its large and enclosed garden and six private one room apartments, this flagship home challenges all the negative expectations of homeless accommodation.

"The most rewarding aspect of my job is helping young people progress from a chaotic situation to successfully living independently"

Norma Williams, Project Manager, Orchard House.
