Our 411 HUB provides a ‘one-stop shop’ of services, activities and opportunities, in addition to support led by, and for, homeless people in Medway. Based at 411 High Street, Chatham, the project aims to be a psychologically-informed environment – welcoming, comfortable, and safe – working with a strength-based approach, to engage homeless adults in finding the relevant support for them to help re-build their lives. The project aims to support Homeless and Vulnerable Adults to: Make positive social connections within their community and feel welcome and supported, leading to reduced social isolation and improved confidence and self-esteem. Address the issues that contributed to their homelessness and improve their physical and/or mental health. Fulfil their aspirations for volunteering, life-skills development, training, education, and employment. And ensure that people at risk of homelessness receive timely advice and support to prevent homelessness. People become homeless for different reasons. Our adult residents often have multiple and complex needs, in addition to their housing needs. This can include poor physical health and mental health difficulties, alongside harmful coping mechanisms often caused by past trauma and abuse, or adverse life events, such as bereavement, job loss or relationship breakdowns. Being homeless can, in turn, make many of these problems even harder to resolve, as barriers can prevent residents accessing appropriate services. A snapshot of the homeless community that 411 HUB engages with reveals: 98% are unemployed 78% report a mental health issue and 63% have a mental health diagnosis 72% have physical health problems and 11% have a physical or learning disability 57% have had police involvement, 47% having been convicted of an offence 32% report struggling with alcohol issues and 52% cite drug misuse The services operating from 411 HUB offer a 360-degree support model that is based on the needs of each individual, resulting in more meaningful engagement and outcomes. Services operating from the HUB are centred around Physical and Mental Health, Addiction, Housing, improving literacy and numeracy, reducing social isolation, and improving self-esteem.
