Making an empty home a supported tenancy for 3 young people (360G-landaid-20171817)

Funding Organization
£11,865
Recipient Organization

We will renovate a 2/3 bedroomed property for young people to share as “Move On” accommodation following a stay at a YMCA homeless hostel. The renovated property will be located nearby to help young people through their next transition stage – occupation of their first flat/house and preparation for a tenancy of their own. Young people must be statutorily homeless to qualify. Prior to “moving on”, we identify and match young people, firstly enabling them to share effectively within a YMCA hostel. We will provide practical, emotional support for sharing as well as independent/life skills training which are delivered through our “Y” Academy. "Y" Academy focusses on achieving positive outcomes for each young individual’s emotional, health, financial, learning and other personal needs. Funding for Y Academy is sourced separately and includes staff from other partnering support agencies eg Penumbra for mental health, ABE for literacies and numeracy.
