Young Persons Service - Housing Advice and Support
The Young Persons Service (YPS) provides a housing support service based on home visits to a vulnerable client group established through a referral and assessment system. The YPS provides realistic Housing Advice and Support to young people aged 16-17 (+ 21 year olds) with a looked after background.
To use the service you must be either:
- Considering applying for your own tenancy; or
- Have your own tenancy
We offer fair and confidential housing advice, information and support through open and honest discussion with you about your responsibilities as a tenant. They will work with you to develop a support plan that helps you to prepare to move into your tenancy and manage your tenancy in an effective manner. They also work together with other relevant service providers to help clients engage with services in a consistent and meaningful way.
We are committed to maintaining and developing local contacts with a wide range of service providers allowing clients to access a broad variety of effective support sources.
Our service is accessed through a referral and assessment process.
Contact your local Young Persons Service Team for a referral form or for an informal discussion.
