About

Ark Resettlement Services (ARKRS) aims to reduce reoffending in communities across London, through the provision of housing and social services for people transitioning from the criminal justice system. Our vision is to help our beneficiaries gain the skills, support and independence they need to move away from crime and transform their lives for the better.

Ark Resettlement Services depends on a dedicated team of staff and is underpinned by a group of supportive board members to help implement our mission and vision while adhering to our values.

Ark Resettlement Services was set up in 2014 by a group of interested agencies, including landlords  – who identified an urgent need for providing housing and support to vulnerable prison-leavers and, following local surveys and research, came together to set up this specialist community organisation. 

ARKRS began by dealing with low risk offending groups (i.e. less likely to re-offend) and has gradually grown into becoming leading provider of housing for Haringey Integrated Offender Management (IOM) – made up of Police, Probation and Prison services – as well as Haringey Vulnerable Adults Team and other voluntary organisations.

Working alongside our partnering bodies, we offer safe short-term housing, consistent one-to-one and group support with a specific focus on mental wellbeing, skill development, education and employment opportunities.
