House Project
Who are we?
The National House Project (NHP) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), established in August 2018. It provides the knowledge, resources and support to establish and maintain Local House Projects (LHPs) and believes that joining a LHP should be an option for all young people leaving care.
How do we help young people leaving care?
Young people experience leaving care together and this peer community supports them to develop the practical and emotional skills that they need to live interdependently. They work on houses which become their homes to live in for as long as they want.
