Residential - Rehabilitation - Resettlement
A service for offenders with multiple and complex problems including, Drugs and Alcohol dependency, mental health issues and a range of social and domestic problems.
WELCOME TO ALPHA HOUSE CALDERDALE
The vision for Alpha House came out of one of the trustee’s experience of working with Probation clients who were being released from prison. Some were desperate to remain drug free but had nowhere to go except on the streets or back to their old drug using or drinking friends and inevitably back to their addiction. Many of those also suffered from mental health issues. This led to a repeat of the cycle of drug/alcohol use, offending, prison and release. It sometimes led to suicide out of frustration about their inability to break free or premature death by overdose or gradually failing health.
Yvonne Oliver CEO - BA MA MSc PGD RMBACP
I joined Alpha House Calderdale in January 2012 when the project was in its infancy. I was originally engaged for six months to develop the service, but after more than 13 years, I am still here and still developing. My experience in project building, developing recovery materials and in particular dual diagnosis, where a mental health issue also presents, has driven me to develop a holistic streamlined service to address, addiction, mental health, and a range of social and domestic issues, often overlooked by other services.
At Alpha House, we strive to bring the best in Residential Rehabilitation and Resettlement services and look forward to displaying our signage, ALPHA HOUSE CALDERDALE CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE.

Northern Housing Awards
Overview
Ever since we launched the Northern Housing Awards in 2018, it has been our mission to shine a light on the individuals and organisations who make it their mission to improve homes and communities in the north.
Much has happened in the seven years since, but one thing that has remained constant is the pool of talented and dedicated people who continually strive to make our corner of the country a better place.
From housing associations to local authorities, contractors to suppliers, there is not one part of our sector that doesn’t deserve recognition - especially given the unique times in which we find ourselves.
We want to hear about how you provide homes and help communities, the services you deliver that are changing lives, your innovations, the problems you solve, and the obstacles you overcome. In short, we want to hear how you are making a difference for the people of our regions.
We’re very demanding, we know, but these things matter — and we want to shout about them from the rooftops.
Northern housing has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to responding to new trends and adapting to disruption. And as we push on with digital transformation, decarbonisation, and building safety remediation that trait shows no sign of fading. With a rich history of innovation, stretching back hundreds of years, perhaps that’s no surprise.
There will no doubt continue to be disruption in the years ahead, but northern housing will continue to stand firm and set an example for the rest of the sector.

Assessments
Residents will undergo a full needs assessment before being housed and may be required to attend other services to enhance their wellbeing as well as accessing additional mental health services provision.
Empowerment
Our experience has shown that most relapses occur due to social and domestic issues. These are extensive and take up a great deal of staff time. We deal with the basics of arranging appointments with external agencies, help setting up bank accounts, dealing with debt, mediation with families and loved ones, dealing with Social Services and Guardians ad Litem (where there are removed children.) Relationship conflict is the number one cause of relapse in our experience so this work is vital to rehabilitation and resettlement. We offer a range of accredited courses which include, Gambling and Money Management, Respect and Safety for Women, Addressing my Offending.
Being a residential service we are also aware of the lack of basic living skills amongst our new residents. To this end, we invest time to help them become independent during Stage 1 of our Housing Programme.
