Young People - South Lakes
What is the project about?
The aim of the projects are to provide housing with support to young people, aged 16 to 25, who are homeless, threatened with homelessness or in housing need.
The Kendal project can accommodate 14 young people. Each resident has their own self-contained flat. These are very comfortable and well equipped.
The Ulverston project can accommodate 6 young people.
What kind of support is available?
Support workers work mainly office hours, but can be available outside these hours by arrangement.
Each resident will have an individual support plan that meets their needs. They will work with their support worker and make informed choices on issues that are important to them.
This may include
The aim of the support plan is to encourage and help the young people to live independently. They must be willing and able to work with the support provided.
How do I refer to the project?
Referrals are considered on an
individual basis and are taken from all statutory and voluntary agencies. Young people can contact us directly. The young people must be able to manage a tenancy, with support.
Tenant’s Rights
Each young person is housed under the terms and conditions of an assured shorthold tenancy agreement. Their rights are set out in this agreement and in the Housing Association Charter we give out when they move in.
We are committed to consulting with and involving tenants in, the planning and delivery of a high quality housing and support service. We value each resident as an individual and promote mutual respect, both of themselves and others within our schemes.
