Northamptonshire YMCA has developed a suite of housing support services to meet the needs of anyone seeking our support.
- First contact for the more vulnerable residents at St John’s Northampton and St Jude’s Kettering.
- Accommodation with on-site training for those with lower support needs at Derngate House.
- Trainer flats at Derngate House and St Jude’s for those ready to move on.
- Shared houses for those able to look after themselves but still needing ongoing support.
- Floating support for those who have their own accommodation but are in need of support.
Homelessness Services Available at St Jude's
Floating support is a transitions stage between the 24 hour care offered at accommodation centres and full independent living.
The aims of our floating support service are:
- To promote quality of life, independence and inclusion
- To reduce homelessness and the cost and trauma associated with accommodation breakdown
- To support residents in moving on from all types of temporary accommodation
- To provide flexible support that re-engages vulnerable young people who may not be in contact with other services
- To engage with other agencies to ensure that the individual needs are fully met
