Homeless people who have served in<br />
the British Military<br />
The Big House in<br />
Camberwell has 11 studio<br />
flats providing supported<br />
accommodation to people<br />
who have been homeless.<br />
It specialises in supporting<br />
homeless persons who<br />
have served in the British<br />
Military. It receives funding<br />
from the Royal British<br />
Legion and from SSAFA.<br />

We work closely with a large number<br />
of ex-services organisations including<br />
SSAFA, Veterans Aid, Garden Leave, Stoll<br />
and the Poppy Factory amongst others.<br />
Big House Clapham consists of 6 one<br />
bedroom flats which are ‘move-on’<br />
accommodation for ex-servicemen from<br />
Big House. It is a significant move towards<br />
independence and tenants can live at Big<br />
House Clapham for up to 2 years before<br />
moving on.<br />
In the past year we have reviewed the<br />
key working and housing management<br />
systems and made major strides in<br />
reducing rent arrears and increasing<br />
residents’ engagement and involvement in<br />
how the service is run.
