What Is The Project About?

The aim of the project is to provide housing with support for men aged 16 and over, who are homeless, threatened with homelessness or in housing need.

Lindisfarne Street has 10 Bedrooms, 5 on each floor. Each floor has a communal lounge, kitchen and bathroom. Laundry facilities are also provided.

What Kind Of Support Is Available?

The staff team provide a 24-hour intensive support services.

Each resident will have an individual support plan that meets their needs. They will be allocated a support worker, who will work with them and help them to make informed choices on issues that are important to them.

This may include:

  • Benefits Advice.

  • Money Management

  • Drug/Alcohol Dependency Problems

  • Health Issues

  • Accessing Leisure/Community Facilities

  • Housing Issues

The aim of the support plan is to encourage and help our residents to live as independently as they are able. The men must be willing and able to work with the support provided. Staff will help each man to find suitable permanent accommodation appropriate to his needs and the floating support services is available to make sure that the tenancy is maintained.

How Do I Refer To The Project?

Referrals are considered on an individual basis and are taken from all voluntary and statutory agencies. We are unable to consider referrals for men who have:-

  • A History Of Arson.

  • A History Of Violent Conduct.

In deciding on who to house, we will take into account the needs of the potential resident and balance this with the need to maintain a safe and secure environment for everyone.
