Homelessness

We support adults who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness, and who may also need to overcome a dependence on addictive substances.

We do this in a number of ways with:

Supported housing
Preventative outreach work
Resettlement support
Floating support services

Residents baking cakes together in their services' kitchen.

We achieve this through collaborative support, using the Homelessness Star model, which builds self-confidence alongside the skills needed to become self-reliant. Support focuses on 10 areas:

Motivation and taking responsibility
Self-care and living skills
Managing money and personal administration
Social networks and relationships
Drug and alcohol misuse
Physical health
Emotional and mental health
Meaningful use of time
Managing tenancy and accommodation
Offending
