Our Vision: Building sustainable homes and a community of support with young people leaving care enabling them to have a positive future

Trustees

The House Project National Hub (Hub) is a new charity – with projected Charity Commission approval and incorporation for September 2018.  A winning combination of social care and therapeutic expertise, youth participation and commercial ‘know how’ helping health and social care services and young people leaving care, achieve successful independence. 

The Hub aspires to become a centre of excellence, supporting the roll out of House Projects across the UK.  It’s a collaborative business in which adults and young people in and leaving care work together to enable young people to refurbish void properties, manage their own homes and change lives. 

The House Project vision is supported and currently financed in the short term by the Department for Education.

The Hub

• Supports young people to achieve their goals
• Helps Local Authorities become the best ‘Corporate Parents’
• Demonstrates value whilst integrating early intervention and behaviour change
• Improves health and social care outcomes for young people
