About Bloom & Our Housing
Learn more about our service provision.
Bloom
How will Bloom grow and meet current and future demands?
We are working towards a wider plan to provide accommodation, projecting a growth rate of 35-50 veterans per month whilst, working alongside nationwide services supporting our veterans.
Why does Bloom do the work they do?
Bloom Housing’s operational management team identified a vital gap in support & accommodation, specifically developed for veterans.
Bloom set out to employ a Project Lead for Veterans, who; a veteran himself, fully understands the difficulties and how this effects lives.
He has identified several pathways to provide ongoing support and personal development:
- To provide a support plan
- Plan for the steps to come in the future
- Enable them to build skills to ‘move on’ from support
The goals are individual, comprehensive and above all achievable.
What difference does the work we do make to the community?
Bloom Housing encourage community participation, engaging local residents and businesses. This engagement has led to members of the community donating items for our residents.
Our veteran’s lead has initiated a national “Red Flare Flag” email platform, offering immediate support for services who work with veterans, including custodial.
The veteran community e.g., statistics of homelessness, lack of support for veterans?
It is estimated that there are 5,000 homeless veterans in the UK – Government and charity data.
However, it is believed that this figure could be much higher as local councils do not include veteran’s sofa surfing, or living in tents etc.
Latest figure suggests that there are currently 2.4 million veterans living in the UK alone. Mental health still remains a huge concern, suicides amongst the veteran community will now be officially recorded.
Bloom is in the process of registering Bloom Academy as a registered charity to enable facilitation of services to veterans.
