Description

The scheme will provide Housing Led support initially focused on preparing individuals in emergency accommodation/ hostels or in some cases on the streets to take on their own tenancy, ensuring support is in place from relevant agencies and accommodation is suitable and ready for individuals to move into. Support will ensure individuals are aware of and engaging with local housing management services and arrangements are in place to ensure tenancy management and sustainment. High levels of ongoing wrap around tenancy support will then be provided based on a strengths-based trauma informed approach to ensure that individuals have a clear recovery plan in place and are engaging with relevant support agencies for a period of up to 2 years (or longer if required) to sustain their tenancy. Support will look to help individuals in their recovery working towards work like activity such as volunteering, training or employment programmes where appropriate. Individuals will be able to scale support up or down depending on need and an exit plan including access to support after leaving the scheme will be put in place
