Resumo: The Host organization provides a welcoming high quality 24 hour Supported Temporary Accommodation service to young men and women between the ages of 18 and 35 who are homeless.
Over a 6 month structured programme, service user personal growth, development and empowerment are encouraged through a person centred approach which encourages a journey of change for each individual.
Staff uses
motivational interviewing techniques and empathic listening in keywork and support planning, and solution-focused risk management to work with individuals where they are at, and to develop realistic and achievable goal-setting. This is supplemented with Life Skills work to promote independent-living skills with a strong focus on resettlement and move-on.
The model of work is underpinned under the following headings
1.Person-Centred, Low Threshold Approach
2.Quality Accommodation Provision
3.Progression, Change, Resettlement: Needs Assessment, Support Planning and Risk Management
4.Service-User Involvement & Ownership Place is a 35 bed hostel providing accommodation and support to 35 homeless men and women each night. It targets those who may be in active addiction (drugs and/or alcohol)and can have mental health issues.
We work with them to support them in reducing their usage and accessing other services in order that they may be treated for their addiction.
At the organization 1 EVS volunteer will work alongside and be part of a team of full time staff and part time volunteers and student placements. The team will work together to provide a safe environment and the best possible service to the young street homeless service users.
By hosting volunteers we hope to open new possibilities for the project and its service users.
The project staff is often busy with providing the basic service required (e.g. preparing meals, ensuring health and safety etc.), however, the volunteers are free to focus on additional activities which will benefit the service users.
