SUPPORT HOUSING SERVICES
Most young people we work with receive support from our supported housing services. This includes hostel, step-down and floating support services.
Young people may come to our hostels from sleeping on the streets or sofa surfing following problems at home or a family breakdown. They might have come directly from care or foster placements, or young offender institutions.
​
We support each young person to get back on their feet, access the specialist services they need and move on to their own accommodation. This is usually within two years, often less, and usually in the private rented sector.
​
Many young people in our accommodation-based services move on to our step-down or visiting support services. These are often nearby or in the same local area.
​
Here young people who are ready to become more independent live in shared accommodation and receive support from our visiting teams. These services provide a valuable stepping stone for young people moving from accommodation-based support to independent living.
