HPT provides support to Probation Teams - working with key partners and stakeholders to strengthen and improve accommodation outcomes for supervised individuals
Stable accommodation is key to reducing reoffending.
We're rolling out the Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3), which provides temporary accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness.
Hear from Sarah about how being in a CAS3 property helped her⬇️
We are really excited that CAS3 will be launching in the NE - We will share news with staff when it is available in their PDU areas.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our community integration team and to help users shape the services we deliver #jointheteam
So pleased to have launched CAS-2, our accommodation and support service for people on bail or licence (formerly known as BASS), delivered with @hmpps.
A safe place to live and the right support are vital in enabling people to build a fulfilling life.
Access to safe and stable accommodation is key to people getting the support they need to address issues that lead to reoffending.
We are pleased to have launched the Community Accommodation Service Tier 2 (CAS2), which will be delivered in partnership with Nacro.

Almost 1 year ago, our '58:7' emergency accommodation for rough sleepers opened in Gateshead. The first of its kind in the area. Before opening, our Senior Project Worker Bupe gave us a tour of the PIE (psychologically informed environment) 6-bed house https://t.co/FHVcpkI02x
In its first year, the Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3) has found temporary accommodation for prison leavers who otherwise would have become homeless.
A stable base helps offenders access services to change their behaviour, find jobs & turn their lives around.
Stable accommodation is key to reducing reoffending. That’s why the Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 provides temporary accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness.
