Story
The Kingshill House Project:
Kingshill House will be the third supported house of the Spitalfields Crypt Trust (SCT). The SCT work to offer support, rehabilitation and training services to people facing problems of homelessness, addiction and social isolation.
In recognition of 45 years of hard work in this field the SCT have been invited to work in partnership with a Housing Association called PCHA, to run a house in Harrow. Once the house has been renovated it would provide accommodation to men who have successfully completed a primary treatment programme at the Acorn House high-support hostel, and are keen to make a fresh start in a new location outside of the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Hackney. Each resident will continue to participate in a recovery plan during their 1-2 year stay at Kingshill, but with greater independence, and receiving support in accessing employment and training opportunities.
