This project aims to provide accommodation and support to young people involved with the Youth Offending Team who are homeless or vulnerable and in need of housing related support.

The project targets young people aged between 16-18 years old and is a partnership between Foundation Housing, Bradford Council and the Bradford Youth Offending Team.

Young people if eligible will be offered accommodation and support to ensure that they are able to cope with the responsibilities of managing their own tenancy. They will receive help from the project in areas of:

• Furnishing the accommodation

• Welfare Benefits

• Social & Leisure Activities

• Training & Employment

• Literacy & Numeracy

• Managing Their Bills

Young people on the project will receive support for up to 12 months and once the young person has maintained the tenancy for at least a year then the project support will then be withdrawn and the young person becomes an independent tenant of the Council. This project is supported by a grant from the Government's Supporting People programme.
