Haventrust Supporting People LTD

Haven Trust Supporting People Limited provides 24 hour support with high dependency funding via Housing Benefit and Supporting People funding.
The primary purpose is to support tenancies so that Service Users can move on to independent living. The project provides support to those who are single homeless with drug and alcohol misuse problems. We operate a “dry house” policy, which means that no unprescribed medication or alcohol is allowed. Therefore only people who have been ‘detoxed’ or who have refrained from taking drugs and/or drink can be allowed to partake of the project. Provision is made for a phased move into independent living via the ‘Move-on Strategy’ so that the Service User is prepared for all aspects of resettlement. There is an initial intensive mechanism where support is provided on a daily basis in the first week so that issues such as furniture, budgeting and other needs are addressed to give every possibility for a smooth and successful transition. Thereafter, a total of one year’s support (or more when necessary) is given in the form of phone calls, letters, visits to, visits from past service users. After the first year, contact is made once a year or as often as a Service User requests further support. Records are kept of all such contacts so that reports, surveys and statistics are kept for Welsh Assembly requirements.
