The aim of the Scheme

The aim of the scheme is to assist young people under the age of 25 in establishing themselves in tenancies throughout West Cumbria and to enable them to successfully sustain their tenancy.  The scheme also aims to empower young tenants to access training and education in the area.

Other considerations:

·        How the applicant has managed any previous accommodation.

·        In the case of the Salterbeck Tenancies the Local Lettings Panel will be used as a guideline on allocation.

·        The scheme cannot accommodate those with very high personal support needs.

 

We will take into account the contribution that other agencies might take in meeting the personal support needs of any referral.  People with support needs, which cannot be met by this scheme, will be considered for other C.A.S.S.  and  other Impact schemes in the area.
