Accommodation is only one part of what New Haven provides. Residents who require supported accommodation receive housing-related support based upon an assessment of their individual needs. At the beginning of a placement, we work with the resident to identify where support is required and agree practical goals. This helps form an individual support plan which can be reviewed as needs and circumstances change.
Understanding responsibilities, maintaining the home and addressing issues which could place accommodation at risk.
Support with budgeting, household expenses and managing day-to-day finances.
Help to understand and access appropriate benefits, services and sources of assistance.
Practical support with organising appointments and engaging with relevant services.
Developing routines, practical skills and confidence needed for greater independence.
Support to identify and engage with suitable opportunities where appropriate.
Helping residents build positive links with their community and reduce isolation.
Support with important correspondence, online services and practical administrative tasks.
Helping residents prepare for future accommodation and greater independence when the time is right.
Support should respond to the individual rather than simply follow a standard timetable. We review needs and progress so that support can change as circumstances change.
New Haven provides housing-related support designed to help residents maintain their accommodation and develop independence.
Where specialist or regulated services are required, residents may receive those services separately from appropriately qualified external professionals or providers.
