We encourage residents to live independently, free from the negative cycles of homelessness and addiction. When our residents are ready, we provide a next stage referral pathway to Charter Recovery Housing, part of the Supporting Lives group. These properties require residents to be stable on any prescribed medication and to maintain abstinence from any illicit substances. Situated in Blyth, Newcastle and Gateshead, recovery housing offers a mutually therapeutic environment with a skills academy where the focus is on sustaining progress and taking the next steps into employment, training education and volunteering (ETEV).
