Referrals – Men
We work with single homeless people who are un-employed, ex-offenders and those with a history of drug and/or alcohol addiction.
Our aim is to break the vicious cycle of ‘No home, no job’’. This is achieved by providing accommodation and one to one support. We encourage our residents to increase their employability skills by providing:
-
Short term accommodation
-
Training and volunteering opportunities
-
Support to gain employment & pathways to more permanent accommodation
-
Support in rebuilding their self-confidence and life skills.
We support clients to move on from traumatic past experiences to a much better and brighter future.
We accept referrals from Local Authorities, Advice Centres, Probation Offices, and Religious Organisations. Self-referrals for men’s accommodation will also be considered.
We will always take steps to check the authenticity of any referrals received.
Our criteria for accepting clients for the Men's Projects:
We accept single homeless men:
-
Aged 18-59 who are actively seeking work.
-
UC/JSA claimants who are British citizens and those who have a right to reside in this country.
-
