Move-on Housing
Acorn clients have access to high quality supported housing whilst in treatment with our service.
Thanks to our highly innovative and effective RAMP service in HMP Manchester many offenders are able to prove their motivation to change and gain support into high quality addiction treatment and supported housing.
One client stated “I’ve been in and out of bail hostels most of my adult life on leaving prison. For me that didn’t work as I always end up using drugs again and committing more crime to fund my habit. Thanks to RAMP and then into rehab and housing with Acorn I’m now over a year drug and crime free for the first time in my life”
