Supported Lodgings
Young Persons Accommodation Scheme
Supported lodgings are for young people aged 16 to 19 years who cannot live at home but are not quite ready to live independently. Lodgings can be room only or supported lodgings.
Supported lodgings are safe and friendly places to stay while the young person prepares for independence.
Young people come to our attention because they cannot live with their family for a variety of reasons. This might be because of bereavement, trauma or they are at risk of harm. At this age they are usually not ready to live entirely independently but need support and guidance to prepare for adulthood.
The aim of the Supported Lodgings is:
- To provide a stable and safe base for a young person to live.
- To support a young person to develop independent living skills and become responsible for themselves.
- To motivate, encourage and support the young person to move onto full independence at 19.
