Provision of Housing Related Support within Ty Annog

Overview

The service will provide 24/7 housing related support to young people, aged 16 – 25 years old. The service will provide: • Housing related support to enable young people to develop the skills to live independently, achieve their outcomes and move on into their own home within the community • A safe, empowering environment for young people to gain the skills and confidence needed for the transition into independent living The young people accessing the service may have additional needs such as (but not limited to) experiencing mental health issues, learning difficulties and substance misuse issues. Ty Annog will provide housing related support within an accommodation based environment to young people for a maximum of 24 months. However, it is anticipated the young person will have developed the appropriate independent living skills before this period so they are able to move on into their own accommodation within the community. Young people moving on from Ty Annog will be able to access (if required) a range of Floating Support Services commissioned by the Social Care and Housing Support Commissioning Team to further assist them with the transition into living independently in the community. The service must be compliant with the relevant elements of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 and must adhere to the Blaenau Gwent’s Licence Extension Request Policy.
