Who are we?

Established in 2008, Hope Housing is a registered Christian charity working with people experiencing homelessness in Bradford.

Hope Housing currently has 28 supported bed places in 16 properties across the city and we are actively looking to expand our portfolio. We are connected into a wide range of working partnerships with statutory and voluntary services and churches to deliver a range of person centred services in the City.  We know that we cannot solve homelessness by ourselves; our key principles are to work with others and focus our work on filling gaps in homeless provision so that in our City no one will be left out. All our support is tailored to each individual and enables even the most disadvantaged people to access housing, financial and practical help through a person-centred, individualised approach.

As a member of the team, the Housing Support Worker will contribute to fulfilling Hope Housing’s vision for the eradication of homelessness in Bradford.

What drives us?

At our core we aim to reduce homelessness in such ways as may be thought fit within the context of Christian values and practice, based on the biblical mandate to love our neighbour as ourselves. We believe it is a great privilege to help people experiencing homelessness by providing hope where they often feel
