High Street South provides low risk, low need, supported accommodation for up to 15 people between the ages of 18 to 60. The project is staffed 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Applicants must either be homeless or at risk of homelessness and require housing-related support to enable them to maintain independent living.

Once an occupier has been accepted into the service they will be allocated a named Support Worker. They will be expected to engage in support by attending regular support sessions with their Support Worker and being actively involved in their support planning process.
Occupiers are expected to engage with the move on process from the scheme such as saving for rent in advance and addressing any former tenancy arrears. We have staff 24 hours a day which comprise of a Support Work Manager, Senior Accommodation Officer, Accommodation Officer, Support Worker and Night Concierge.
