Provides support and advice to young people to help them access and sustain appropriate accommodation. The project works with young people to identify appropriate housing, provide pre-tenancy life skills training, source furniture, help with decorating and a removal vehicle. The project also provides starter packs of cleaning materials and basic foodstuffs. The level of continued support is gauged at the confidence of the tenant, but during the last year no-one who is involved with the project has lost their tenancy other than through a planned move.
