HOMELESSNES
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, 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
