Referral procedure

Young People may access the services offered by referral through Southwark Council only. Southwark Council has the priority over 100% of occupancy, totalling 74 accommodation-based units and floating support for up to 106 young people. All referrals come into the “one-front-door” which consists of three agencies; Southwark Council, The Salvation Army and OASIS Community Housing. Referrals will then be sent to the most appropriate service.
