General Overview
We provide tenancy, emotional, and social support to people in their own homes in partnership with local authorities and housing associations. We also offer pre-tenancy support to individuals who require housing but are not quite ready to move in.
We support individuals with their emotional/social/tenancy needs. Supporting them to access their local community, attend college, appointments, work, or voluntary experiences. We support a visiting support model, where we work closely with a local housing association to provide supported tenancies both furnished and unfurnished for young people who are transitioning into their first accommodation.
Support is individual and is provided on average for 18 and 24 months. We review and reduce support to reflect needs with a planned disengagement when the young person is ready to move on from the service.
We also provide the same support through our outreach model, where individuals live in their own tenancies. Within our outreach programme, we support individuals who choose to self-manage their support needs through Self Directed Support.
FAQs
We provide support to people from 16 to 26 years.
Staff will review your needs throughout your support journey and, if it is identified that you will still require support after you turn 26, there will be measures put in place to look at transferring your support. This can be through one of the other withYOU services, or we can help you transition to another provider. The process will start when you are 25 to enable a smooth transition.
