Approach

The service uses a flexible Case Management approach which emphasises 'working with' rather than 'working for' service users. Service users are treated by their Case Managers with respect and as individuals with their own goals, values, and priorities. Service users are consulted and directly involved in planning and decision-making processes as staff work to ensure that their particular needs are being met.

Costs

There are no fees and access to the service is not contingent on the service user's ability to pay.

Issues dealt with

Generally, anything arising from complex needs related, but not limited to social isolation or conflict within support networks, legal issues, income issues, alcohol and other substance abuse, disability-related and mental health problems.

Admission criteria

Single men without children who are at risk of homelessness due to circumstances which impact on their capacity to sustain stable accommodation.
