Projects for young people

St Christopher's supported housing is there to provide a safe and supportive environment. A place where people can develop the emotional and practical skills necessary to manage their lives and to live independently.

Accommodation is in comfortable converted houses and purpose-built flats. Our projects are mixed in gender and have single-sex accommodation within them.

Each resident has a named support officer who is there for the young person: to spend time on a one-to-one basis, to help to identify their support needs, develop new skills and move towards fully independent living.

We help our residents to

• make informed choices about their lives
• acquire essential life skills such as budgeting and cooking
• maintain good physical and sexual health
• develop negotiation and problem-solving skills
• grow in self-confidence and belief in their own ability to manage
• understand tenancy rights and obligations
• respect the privacy and property of others
• access further education
• improve their chances of getting a job.
