The house has a support worker to support the housemates to learn skills needed to live independently, relating to accommodation, health, career, money and community. We do this through following a program of support in house meetings and individual support sessions. Housemates will be supported to move into private rented accommodation at the end of their stay and can continue with outreach support if desired.

Support sessions and house meetings are part of the licence agreement and attending them is a requirement for all housemates. We cover topics such as budgeting, voting, managing a house, conflict resolution, etc

Contact if you fit the referral criteria, and a hyh staff will set up a 5 minute call to discuss the house further and possibly arrange a meeting and viewing of the property.
