Group Homes
The Trust manages a number of shared houses, which act as a stepping stone towards independent
accommodation.
Temporary Accommodation
Temporary accommodation on behalf of Norwich City
Council for single homeless people whose homelessness
status is being investigated under the Homelessness Act.
Accommodation is in shared houses and is a more homely
alternative to bed and breakfast. It also give the
Trust the opportunity to work with the individual on an
appropriate support package for both the immediate and
longer term.

sleepers and follow up their contacts during the day in order to meet their contact’s housing
and other needs.

Norwich. They can provide travel to verified bed vacancies anywhere in the country and will look
sympathetically on any problem presented by a vulnerable person in need.

The Bigger Picture:
The Trust does not work in isolation, but is part of the broader movement in Norwich and the
surrounding area. It works with other voluntary organisations, housing associations , community
networks and church groups to help build a better life for homeless people.
St Martins Housing Trust is a progressive and developing charity constantly, adjusting to the
needs of homeless people. Over the last few years the needs of people accessing our services,
and their needs, have changed dramatically. We are seeing a growing number of young people,
women and people with mental health and substance misuse.
