Located in Brighton city centre, the service can accommodate up to 50 residents for up to two years, with staff on site 24 hours a day. Residents are expected to engage with support planning and work towards education, training or employment. Applicants must be able to meet accommodation costs through housing benefit or another source of income. We would be delighted to offer you advice or arrange an informal visit so you can see first-hand the excellent services and facilities we have to offer.

Referral procedure

We accept referrals from Brighton & Hove City Council Housing Options Team. Please note that Brighton and Hove Foyer is not suitable accommodation for children under 16, and so we cannot accept referrals for people who have childcare responsibilities where the child would live with them. We are also unable to accept applications for young people who require a high level of supervision due to drug or alcohol misuse.
