Housing Service

Who does it support?

• People who have housing and mental health support needs (not necessarily formal mental health diagnosis).
• People aged 16 +
• We have some places specifically for:

                           - black and minority ethnic people 

                           - single parents with children

                           - young people aged 16-25 (Sholebroke Hostel)

• We cannot provide emergency accommodation
• We cannot offer accommodation without support
• Tenants must have daily living skills - we do not offer personal care services, but we can help tenants access this from other organisations.

  

What does it do?

• Supports tenants to become more independent
• Reduces isolation and vulnerability
• Improves social inclusion
• Improves mental wellbeing

 

How is this achieved? 

• Providing temporary accommodation in a variety of houses/flats and a hostel

or

• Supporting people to remain in their own home (floating support)
• Key workers enable people to move into permanent accommodation
• Support planning and review
