Kelly Osbourne visits Centrepoint's Reuben House

Reuben House contains 33 flats and is home to young people aged between 18 -24 working in various jobs, including hospitality, the building trade and social services. Residents on the programme have access to either self-contained accommodation or our shared apprenticeship flats, with rent capped at no more than one-third of their salary.

This is especially important in the current cost of living crisis, where private rents are soaring along with bills and other costs, and demand for affordable housing is only increasing. 

How Reuben House helps young people to thrive

For many in lower paid work or apprenticeship schemes, it simply wouldn’t be possible to afford to rent privately. This programme means they won’t need to worry about not being able to afford their next rent payment.

Residents also have access to support to plan and prepare to live independently in the future, whether that’s private sector rental or home ownership, helping to end the cycle of homelessness that too many young people find themselves in.

We launched this flagship project in 2023 as part of our Independent Living Programme.

Kelly's visit

Kelly spent many meaningful hours with Ellie, one of the inspiring young people we support, listening with care as Ellie shared her journey and experiences. 

These moments of trust, warmth and connection remind us why this work matters so much. 

Thank you, Kelly, for being such a compassionate ambassador, for truly believing in our young people, and for standing alongside us as we work together to end homelessness.
