What we do
The Rough Sleeper Housing programme provides self-contained flats for up to two years with a support worker to individuals who have a history of rough sleeping. This enables them to make the difficult transition from the streets into their own accommodation. Our service offers a high level of floating support to over 50 tenants.
We offer wraparound support ranging from having a cup of tea and a catch-up, to helping tenants to manage their tenancies. We provide support with:
- drug, alcohol, and mental health issues
- building links helping individuals integrate into the wider community
- signposting to training and work opportunities in order to make the change needed to help tenants gain confidence and move forward with their lives.
Eligibility
To be eligible for this service a person must:
- have been sleeping rough or be at risk of rough sleeping
- have identified support needs that show they are unlikely to manage a tenancy without additional support.
