We have developed a unique and innovative approach to the delivery of supported housing for young people that provides a base for us to deliver major impact in young people’s lives. Key features of our approach are:
- Quality design and an aspirational living environment
- An outsourced night security service, with on site and mobile patrol options
- A team of Support officers with a focus on accessing employment, training and education
- Safety and security through managed door entrances, CCTV and front-facing offices
- Focus on delivering meaningful outcomes
This model has been successfully replicated across London and is a proven success. Recent monitoring shows that 100% of young people in a complex needs scheme were engaged in employment, training or education.
We are not afraid to push the boundaries to help young people fulfil their aspirations and maximise their opportunities and life chances. One Support’s services for young people respond to the challenges that young people may face including offending, anti-social behaviour, substance misuse and teenage pregnancy.
Our services promote social mobility with an emphasis on supporting young people to gain qualifications and employment in order to maximise future life opportunities. Our strategies include providing both practical support and working on issues such as time management, confidence building and realistic expectations. We encourage access to specialist services such careers advice and training agencies as well providing opportunities through our own community investment team such as training courses and apprenticeships.
