The HARP Protocol - Housing and Returning Prisoners

This strategy has been developed in the Tyne & Wear area to bring together statutory and voluntary housing providers with prison and probation services, to create a common approach to planning for the housing of returning prisoners.

The Protocol seeks to address:

  • statutory housing authorities duties towards the prevention of homelessness
  • prison and probation's commitment to effective resettlement
  • the promotion of community safety
  • maximising the contribution of RSLs and the voluntary sectory to housing and supporting offenders
