About PRHA

  

PRHA is engaged in a range of partnerships

By working in partnership PRHA becomes part of a more comprehensive response to the needs of specific individuals.The whole partnership (and the people it serves) benefits from the strengths and experience of each of the partners.  

Development 

We are members of the North River Alliance, a partnership of mainstream, BME and specialist Housing Associations which collaborates to develop new social housing in North and East London. PRHA is currently developing 64 new units of supported accomodation & 50 of general needs accommodation. We have plans to develop some more new accommodation in future years & to remodel some of our shared supported units. 

Services 

PRHA works closely with Adult social care services,  Supporting People teams, Vulnerable adults and child protection teams, Community safety teams & the local police, Homelessness departments, Mental Health & Primary Care Trusts , prison and probation services & leaving Care teams.

We also work with a large number of voluntary agencies & community organisations including drug and alcohol services and employment training providers.

We work with other organisations which act as managing agents for our specialist properties:

  • East Potential manages the Drapers City Foyer
  • Spitalfields Crypt Trust provides supported accomodation for Rough Sleepers with a history of alcohol abuse who wish to stop drinking. 

We also continue to work in close partnership with Providence Row Charity and the Sisters of Mercy, who also work with homeless people in the East End. The Charity runs daycentre services which provide vital advice and practical services. The daycentre works closely with several of PRHA's accommodation services to provide access to housing for those who need it.
