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

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
