- Project focus: Modular housing
- Who it supports: Individuals and families experiencing homelessness
- Housing created: 4 self-contained modular homes
Cowley St John Parochial Church Council is an inclusive parish community in Oxford, working closely with local partners to respond to homelessness in their area. With strong links to organisations such as The Porch and St Mungo’s, they are located in one of Oxford’s most deprived areas, where homelessness is a visible and urgent issue. Around a third of their congregation are experiencing homelessness and people regularly sleep rough within the church grounds.
With Access to Accommodation funding, this locally-led initiative will transform unused church land into four high-quality, self-contained modular homes. These low-carbon homes will provide stable housing for up to eight individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with wraparound support delivered in partnership with local organisations.
