Project Description

The Temporary Accommodation Project will support people who have been placed into Temporary Accommodation by the Local Authority. The project will provide housing related support to individuals to have the capability, independence, skills and confidence to identify, secure and maintain a suitable home.

The Generic Outreach Project will support individuals living in their own homes who may be at risk of homelessness. The project will provide housing related support and advice to individuals to develop the skills that people require to achieve their aims and ensure they live safely and independently in their home and community, maintaining their own home and sustaining their tenancies.

Both projects operate and provide support across the county of Ceredigion.

Purpose of Role

To coordinate and provide floating 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 current or future accommodation. The support will not create or increase dependence. It will ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’ to enable people to improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes.
