Project Description
The project operates in Swansea working with homeless or potentially homeless men and women, aged 18+, who often have complex needs, such as historic or current substance misuse or offending issues. The service provides residential support aimed at meeting individuals’ needs, promoting independence, and leading to a sustainable move-on. The project is funded through the Supporting People Programme Grant and is required to meet the Welsh Government’s National Outcomes Framework. The Framework’s four main aims are:
* Promoting Personal and Community Safety
* Promoting Independence and Control
* Promoting Economic Progress and Financial Control
* Promoting Health and Wellbeing
Purpose of Role
To provide residential support that enables and empowers Service Users to address housing and/or personal difficulties, build their skills and confidence, and ultimately improve their ability to maintain their future accommodation. The support will not create or increase dependence. It will ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’, so it’s likely that support will involve accompanying Service Users initially, to familiarise them with an activity or appointment. Support will help people improve their control, understanding, and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users in achieving their preferred outcomes. Additionally, to assist with the housing management needs of the project, ensuring the delivery of a safe, secure, and effective service.
