Operating under a multi-stage programme of resettlement, we help individuals to regain their independence and reach their full life potential. We manage accommodation in Nottingham city centre, Mansfield and Worksop, with additional housing services for young people in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire. Transitional Homes Our YMCA team understands that a person’s journey through homelessness is not always a linear process. To ensure residents are given the best opportunity to build a brighter future, we also provide transitional houses across Nottingham, Mansfield and Worksop. These homes serve as a bridge for residents who no longer require emergency housing support but still need guidance reintegrating into the community on their road to regaining independence. Placement of residents in our transitional homes is dependent on an applicant’s individual needs assessment. APPLY FOR HOUSING SUPPORT Children’s Residential Care Under our separate ‘Settled Care’ programme, the charity provides emergency residential care in the community for children (aged 8-17) who are at risk or cannot live with their own families. As an Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding’ care provider, we welcome referrals from local authorities and support workers across the country. REFER A CHILD FOR SUPPORT 5 stages journey (ages 16+) Induction and Key Worker Support New residents are welcomed into one of YMCA’s schemes and assigned a key worker who provides an induction, and helps you to get residents back on their feet. YMCA staff will also help residents engage in social and emotional support where required and develop a clear resettlement and support plan. Residents in need of additional support can access the Opportunity and Change project, part of the Building Better Opportunities programme, which is funded by the Big Community Fund and the European Social Fund. Training and Courses Residents are encouraged to engage with training opportunities we offer to further a variety of independent living skills including budgeting, cooking, literacy, maths and more. Past courses have been delivered by Princes Trust, Learn Direct with Nottingham City Council and New College Nottingham amongst others. Transitional Homes Having regained a sense of stability and support, residents then move into one of our Transitional Homes in the community. These are shared houses based in Nottingham and Mansfield. Residents will continue to meet with a key worker, attend courses and share duties with housemates. Our aim is to help resident members achieve a sustainable way of living and develop the skills to live independently. Community Reintegration Having demonstrated sustained involvement in volunteering, courses and programmes, residents are encouraged to look for paid work to encourage independence and achieve greater economic wellbeing. Independent living We wish residents the very best of luck in building a bright and happy future as they finish their YMCA journey and regain their independence.
