Homeground - Emotional Support
Confidential support is offered to residents of Homeground. It is
understood that many of its residents have encountered significant
amd traumatic experiences, homelessness being just one
additional factor to overcome. Many clients will acknowledge
problems with mental health, drug or alcohol misuse and criminal
activity. Homeground offers confidential support and help in order
to begin to address these issues.
Homeground has well established connections with a range of
external support agencies that can provide specialist support
services and where appropriate, we will ensure a timely and
suitable referral.
Homeground - Resettlement
A huge problem facing young people at Homeground is the eventual
move from hostel to independent living in the community. So
often when young people leave a hostel setting they find they
cannot cope with their own tenancy and seek solace back into a
hostel environment.
Homeground operate a Resettlement programme in an attempt to
overcome any problems that their residents are experiencing with
such issues. The Resettlement Officers role is to ensure the
effectiveness and smoothness of the transition process from hostel
to independent living. The resettlement officers aim
to:
- Find secure and appropriate tenancies for young people ready to
move on
- Prepare young people, both practically and emotionally, to make the
transition to independent living
- Offer drop-in advice workshops for young people with resettlement
plans
- Provide additional support and outreach for young people living in
their own tenancies.
As well as seeking out accommodation for the young person, the
worker attempts to secure full time work, education or training to
ensure that the young person has a structured lifestyle and ensures
that other networks of support are in place to assist young people
in maintaining their tenancy.
Support and advice continue to be offered
until each individual is able to cope independently.
