Broadacres' Homelessness Service helps provide a stable environment in which young people can develop the skills and confidence to realise their housing ambitions. We believe that young homeless people should have access to a planned process of resettlement, which focuses on support, income maximisation, education, training and employment opportunities leading to long-term sustainable accommodation, breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty.

Broadacres has developed services to target the most vulnerable of this group - single people who present complex and multiple needs. Our service utilises a property comprising nine flats and is staffed seven days a week.

Following a comprehensive assessment an individual support plan is agreed between service users and a key worker.   Support workers will meet with service users, by appointment, to assess progress in dealing with the practical day-to-day issues of maintaining a tenancy thus ensuring that future housing ambitions, which were identified in their support plan, are achieved. 

Support workers also encourage and assist service users in day-to-day tasks whilst empowering them to take the necessary managed risks to develop confidence. 

Our team of support workers also work alongside colleagues in the District Council, the Youth Offending Team and Children and Family Services along with our own housing services to identify those in need and to provide a multi-agency approach to the achievement of positive outcomes.
