Emergency accommodation at O'Hanlon House

“I've got the best advice, help and medication to solve my problems”
O'Hanlon House resident

Are you aged 22 and over? Do you need emergency overnight accommodation? Do you want to tackle the issues that have led to your becoming homeless? We can help.

O’Hanlon House now works directly with No Second Night Out (NSNO), a new programme initiated by Oxford County Council that introduces a significant change in the way we respond to people who are rough sleeping.

There are 7 No Second Night Out beds on the ground floor at O’Hanlon House. These beds are managed by the NSNO team who are based in the corner office near to the rooms.

If you have been verified as a rough sleeper by the Oxford City Outreach team, you will be referred to the NSNO hub and given a bed once one is available. You will work with the NSNO team to be assessed within 7 days and then given a “single service offer” - a chance to move to next-stage accommodation. This might be to another hostel – or to stay within O’Hanlon House. If you have no local connection, or are have no access to public funds you may not be allowed to stay.

The NSNO hub is staffed by a partnership of OxHoP and Broadway workers.

Our services

Reconnection Policy

New arrivals will meet the Oxford Reconnection Worker to discuss what services are available to you in Oxford.

Cost

There is a fee of £3.50 per person per night, which covers items not paid for by grant funding or housing benefit (e.g. food, cleaning, heating, lighting).

Booking

You need to book on a weekly basis between 2pm and 3.30pm every Monday. Anyone seeking a bed must go through the No Second Night Out hub and must first be verified by the Oxford City Outreach Team. This system prioritises rough sleepers according to vulnerability.
