Vennture Homes

Providing safety for the hidden homeless

Losing your home doesn’t always mean sleeping on the streets. In rural areas like Herefordshire, homelessness often looks like sofa surfing, staying in unsafe places, or not knowing where you'll sleep next week. For families and individuals already facing crisis, this kind of instability can be overwhelming.

Vennture provides safe, stable accommodation and the right support to help people rebuild their lives. Through Vennture Homes, including our emergency accommodation in Hereford, we support people who are homeless or facing the risk of homelessness with housing that’s more than a roof. It’s a place to pause, to breathe, and to begin again.

How we help

We don’t just provide emergency accommodation for families, our Link Workers are part of the package, offering consistent, relational support to help people feel safe, gain stability, and make plans for the future.

Many of those we support are facing multiple challenges: housing insecurity, trauma, relationship breakdown or mental health concerns. We meet people where they are and help them move forward at their own pace.

What we offer

  • Safe, fully supported emergency accommodation for families
  • Link Worker support to provide guidance and listening
  • Help navigating benefits, healthcare and housing options
  • A calm, stable space to begin making longer-term plans
  • A local, community-rooted alternative to crisis placements out of area

What makes our support different?

We don’t just offer a place to stay, we offer people a chance to recover, reflect, and reimagine what’s next. We’re not a housing provider in the traditional sense – we’re part of a wider web of care, walking with people who often fall through the cracks in the system. In rural areas, where services can be spread thin and support is hard to reach, we step in and stay present.

Our values-led approach creates an environment where people feel genuinely safe, respected and supported, which residents consistently tell us makes a critical difference to their ability to move forward.
