Support and accommodation

Support offered

24 hour waking cover. "Residents are expected to discuss their support needs with their key-worker and agree a shared action plan." Key-work sessions (12 residents per key worker) encourage residents to move towards independence. Residents who have not been in the homeless sector previously will be offered a 28-day assessment bed, this will establish support needs residents may have and whether the project can meet these needs. Residents have a 'Smart plan' which is used with partner agencies to ensure tenants supported needs are met by joint working with partner agencies.
