About the Service
Through Horizons, we provide tenancy, emotional, and social support to young adults in their own homes in partnership with local authorities and housing associations. We also offer pre-tenancy support to individuals who require housing but are not quite ready to move in.
We support individuals with their emotional, social and tenancy needs. Supporting them to access their local community, attend college, appointments, work, or voluntary experiences. We support a visiting support model, where we work closely with a local housing association to provide supported tenancies both furnished and unfurnished for young people who are transitioning into their first accommodation. We also provide the same support through our outreach model, where individuals live in their own tenancies. Within our outreach programme, we support individuals who choose to self-manage their support needs through Self Directed Support.
