Providing quality Supported Accommodation
About us
René House turns houses into homes and provides semi-independent accommodation for homeless vulnerable adults and families across Nottinghamshire. Alongside the accommodation we provide a support package which covers things such as social integration, budgeting, and life-skills in order to encourage progression towards independent living. Our residents are also encouraged and guided towards creating links with external providers to support with wider issues they may face including drug/alcohol abuse, offending behaviour, and mental health issues

Yesterday was our team Christmas fuddle! 🎄 There's something special about having a team that genuinely enjoys spending time together. Between the games, great food, and lots of laughter, it was a nice reminder of what makes our workplace culture so unique. Seeing everyone relax, share stories, and celebrate each other's achievements from the year - that's what real team spirit looks like. ✨ #TeamSpirit #WorkplaceCulture #CompanyCulture

At René House, our approach to care is built on a foundation of understanding and individual attention. From day one, we dedicate the first few weeks to truly getting to know each resident and understanding their story, struggles, personal goals, and vision for their future. To us, our residents aren't just cases or numbers, they're individuals, they're humans. This personalised approach ensures that every support plan we develop is as unique as the person it serves, and will be as beneficial as possible. #HumanFirst #Charity #MakingADifference #Homelessness

A little insight into what Christmas is like for residents at René House... Last Christmas, depression made leaving the house feel impossible for this particular resident. 🖤 Now a year on, we're sharing laughs about the not-so-perfect Christmas tree and the struggles of untangling tree lights. As he speaks about in the video, sometimes the smallest steps, like grabbing a coffee at Wetherspoons with a support worker who cares, can make all the difference to someone's recovery and journey toward independence. ✨ #Charity #Homelessness #SupportedLiving #SupportedAccommodation

We're starting to receive all of your generous donations from our Amazon Christmas Wishlist! Thank you for your support. 🖤 As these parcels arrive, we're reminded of how impactful directed giving can be. Because when it comes to supporting those experiencing homelessness, choosing how to help can often feel difficult and conflicting. While the impulse to give money or items directly to someone experiencing homelessness is incredibly compassionate, partnering with established organisations instead often ensures resources reach those in need most effectively.

The René House team are feeling the festive spirit! 🎄 While December marks our busiest time of year, what with welcoming new residents, completing new properties, managing increased referrals, and coordinating Christmas celebrations – we're still making sure to sprinkle some Christmas magic throughout the office. Here's to making this season special for our residents and team! ✨ #SupportTeam #SupportWorker #Charity #Nottingham

It’s much more than just a kitchen… Learning to plan and cook nutritious meals is just one of the many life skills we try to encourage here at René House. 👨🏻🍳 Our support sessions often include time cooking together, promoting independence and healthy living – and a comfortable talking environment too. #SupportedLiving #SupportedAccommodation

Come behind the scenes with our team as we sit down for a morning meeting… 👍🏿 Someone shares news about a resident who just landed their first job interview. 👎🏿 For another, their resident is struggling to adjust – so we put our heads together to think of new ways to help them feel at home. Some days are tough, some conversations feel heavy. Not every story has a happy ending (yet). But then someone shows you their first week’s payslip, or collects the keys to their very own flat, and you remember exactly why you do this. 🖤 Being a support worker means being ready for anything. The challenges are real, but so are the moments of pride when someone takes a step forward, no matter how small. #supportworker #supportwork #homeless #charity

If the state of supported housing accommodation concerns you, let us show you what's possible... Take a tour around one of our latest properties, RH33. 📹 This is our standard for supported housing: Clean. Well-maintained. Comfortably designed. Purpose-driven. A dignified environment where recovery and positive transitions can happen. The UK's social housing sector urgently needs more properties. But with supported housing becoming somewhat of a 'buzzword' lately, we're seeing an influx of developers and landlords viewing it as a quick route to profitable returns, often at the expense of quality and proper support. Increasing capacity simply cannot come at the expense of quality. Too often, we see vulnerable individuals placed in substandard accommodation by providers who don't understand (or choose to ignore) what supported housing really means. At René House, we're demonstrating that a different approach is possible. Quality housing combined with professional support services isn't just an aspiration – it's a fundamental requirement for effective supported housing that delivers real positive outcomes, for real people who deserve a fresh start. Do you agree? #SupportedHousing #SupportedLivingSector #SocialHousing #HomelessPrevention #HousingFirst #SocialImpact #NotForProfit #Nottingham

The response to our Christmas campaign over the weekend has left us a bit speechless! 🖤 Since Friday, we've been watching parcels arrive at René House HQ – each one representing someone in our community choosing to make Christmas special for our residents. To everyone who has visited our Amazon Wishlist and chosen to be a Secret Santa – THANK YOU. Your generosity means that someone rebuilding their life after homelessness will have a gift waiting for them under the tree this Christmas morning. For many of our residents, this will be their first stable Christmas in years. Each gift represents not just an item, but a reminder that they're not alone on their journey, and that people are rooting for them. Our wishlist remains open if you'd still like to contribute: https://lnkd.in/eaxRHURk #SupportedHousing #CommunitySupport #HomelessnessSupport #ChristmasCampaign #SocialHousing #Homeless #Charity
