Offploy

The Accommodation for Ex-Offenders (AFEO) scheme run by Offploy in collaboration with Leicester City Council helps low- to medium-risk ex-offenders who are at risk of rough sleeping secure housing in the private rented sector.

The scheme aims to reduce both reoffending and homelessness by supporting prison leavers who might otherwise face homelessness. Evidence shows that individuals leaving prison without stable accommodation are nearly 50% more likely to reoffend.

We deliver a range of support services to help ex-offenders access private rental housing. These typically include rent deposits, financial incentives for landlords and ongoing support for candidates to ensure they are tenancy ready and able to sustain long-term accommodation
