How to get a referral
Referral agencies
Accept referrals via Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and have completed assessments whilst Young People are in prison, but these referrals still come through the Homeless Team.
Referral procedure
All referrals come form Housing Options. They are sent to Centrepoint to arrange an assessment of needs. If they meet our criteria they are accepted into either an assessment bed or self-contained flat where they are offered support with independent living skills. They will then either move on to our next stage accommodation service (Highfield Terrace) or independent tenancy. Length of stay in accommodation service is around 8 months, but this is dependent on the level of support required.
