BHCC MH Supported Accommodation for Young People (2020) - AWARD

Children's Services and Adult Social Care (through the Housing Related Support (HRS) budget) commission a pathway of services for the prevention of homelessness for young people between the ages of 16 and 25.

Our priority is to continue to deliver an integrated, preventative programme of support, for the best experience and outcomes for service users.

Brighton & Hove follow the principles of the 'Positive accommodation and support pathways to adulthood' framework, a national good practice model which advocates an integrated approach in terms of: achieving in education, economic independence, health, positive relationships, and involvement in meaningful activities.

Development of these proposals has been considered in line with the objectives of the Council's Leaving Care Pledge, our Rough Sleepers Strategy and all provision for adults at risk of homelessness.
