Project Description
The Torfaen Accommodation and Support Hub is an innovative and exciting project located within the heart of Pontypool that will provide information, advice, support and accommodation to residents of Torfaen who are experiencing homelessness or struggling with housing issues. A newly reconfigured provision within a listed building the service will host 15 units of accommodation alongside the provision of multi agency drop in hub where people can access information, advice and support.
The service is an integral part of the Local Authorities approach to responding to homelessness in Torfaen and founded on a partnership and multi agency model of delivering information, support, assistance and accommodation to prevent and resolve homelessness.
Purpose of Role
To coordinate and provide residential support that enables and empowers Service Users to address housing and/or personal difficulties, build their skills and confidence, and ultimately improve their ability to maintain their future accommodation. The support will not create or increase dependence. It will ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’, so it’s likely that support will involve accompanying Service Users initially, in order to familiarise them with an activity or appointment. Support will help people improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes. In addition, to meet the housing management needs of the project ensuring the delivery of a safe, secure and effective service.
