Services Overview
The options available for people with support needs and require housing are Supported Housing and Housing First. Temporary accommodation is typically available to homeless people who are deemed to have a priority for assistance by local authorities. Permanent rented housing is provided by local authorities and housing associations (known as social housing) and by private landlords.
We operate 10 temporary accomodation services and clients typically stay with us for between 1 month and 2 years, although the length of time will vary dependant on each person’s individual need. These temporary accommodation services are distinct in both our approach and the clients who we support.
We deliver women only schemes supporting vulnerable women through their experiences, women and children schemes where clients may have experienced domestic abuse and schemes where we accept clients from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and forms of homelessness.
Each service is unique but our mission and ethos remains consistent. We exist to provide housing support but most importantly kindness.
