Through the cracks: prevention-first housing and justice pathways that reduce reoffending and improve outcomes
Reducing reoffending starts with prevention: stable housing and early support that stop people reaching crisis, custody, or repeated contact with the justice system. Yet too many people are still discharged from prison into housing insecurity, facing short licence periods, fragmented support and high barriers to safe, stable accommodation. The result is predictable - breaches, sofa surfing, exploitation and a revolving door back into custody. The session examines practical, evidence based ways to reduce reoffending and prevent crises early, focusing on housing led, trauma informed, and justice aware approaches, with coordinated work across housing, probation, councils and specialist services.
Speakers will share models that work (including CAS 2 and specialist supported housing), where the gaps still are, and what the housing sector can do to build routes to stability.
