First People Housing CIC

First People Housing CIC houses ex-offenders, many of whom are in recovery from substance misuse. These are local residents who have served short sentences for acquisitive crimes to fund their drug habits and who would be street homeless if they could not come First People. The CIC works closely with the probation service and receive referrals from them directly and from the local council who are seeking to house individuals being released from prison without support from the probation service. It also works closely with the local police service and support all crime initiatives and will help with enquiries where possible.
