Housing With Support

Aspire is our Young Person’s Centre in Great Yarmouth, which opened in partnership with Orwell Housing Association, Norfolk County Council and Great Yarmouth Borough Council. It represents a high demand and strategically important service for the town with 17 units of accommodation for single, young homeless people aged 16-25.

Our staff team works closely with all the young people at Aspire, helping them to develop and bounce back from the problems that led to them becoming homeless. Each resident is allocated a key worker to support them on the path to becoming a confident young adult and prepare them for independent life.

The central location of Aspire in Great Yarmouth makes it a good base for the young people to get out and about in the community, and have easy access to education, training and a social life. These are all important elements in helping them to become more independent and preparing them to move on to the next stage of their life.

Right Tracks in King’s Lynn officially opened in July 2012. It provides supported accommodation to 12 young homeless people aged 16 to 25. We work in partnership with Saffron Housing, the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk County Council and the Housing and Communities Agency to deliver the service.

12 residents each have their own flat at Right Tracks with a fully furnished bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge. These are designed to give the residents more responsibility than a room, so they can gain valuable skills in the day-to-day running of a flat to give them the experience needed for independent living. There is also a kitchen/dining area, where the young people can socialise with other residents and staff.

Our staff work with the residents to support them with their education and career, and to build their general life skills in things like cooking and budgeting. Our aim is that when these young people leave us they are more confident and better prepared for independent life.
