Purpose
We offer a warm, safe environment for residents, and support to break the cycle of homelessness. Our service users are men and women over 18 and we can offer 150 supported beds in Charter Hostel, as well as 22 bed spaces for MCISS – our medium complex intensive support scheme.
People become homeless for a host of reasons, and our specialist staff work with each resident to tackle issues that may be a barrier to moving forward. Our team signposts to local services like GPs, community mental health teams and CGL. Watford Hostel offers a safe space to stay, and a temporary solution until people get back on their feet. Our goal is to reduce street homelessness and help people make a better future.
Facilities
Our hostel has two meeting rooms, a resident’s lounge, and counselling rooms as well as laundry facilities, an IT suite, and a gym. We have 24-hour staff cover as well as CCTV for safety and security. Watford Hostel is a catered facility providing well balanced, nutritious meals.
The hostel is easy to access and is well located near to the town centre. It’s within walking distance of three railway stations – Watford Junction, the Metropolitan Line and the Overground and there is easy access to both the M1 and M25, as well as access to numerous bus routes.
Our hostel offers holistic support to residents in a safe, secure environment. Our specialist team works closely with our residents, allowing them to live independently and take steps to rebuild their lives.
