About the Project
Adferiad’s Merthyr Outreach Tenancy Support project is funded by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council via Housing Support Grant (HSG) funding. The service is a floating support service (with Dispersed Mental Health) for those with housing-related support needs. The support will be for up to a six-month maximum period depending on need.
The service will provide a responsive, preventative and person-centred housing-related support service to enable individuals with housing-related support needs to live independently in their own homes. The focus of any housing-related interventions are to develop or sustain an individual’s capacity to live in their own accommodation and achieve increasing levels of independence.
We provide our services in a way that helps people to become more independent in every area of their life including:
- Support to manage accommodation and feel safe
- Support to manage relationships
- Helping people to make choices and take positive risks
- Support to go to social or leisure activities to feel part of the local community
- Support to identify and access training and education
- Support to gain employment and voluntary work
- Support and signposting with budgeting, and financial matters
- Help with managing physical matters
- Help with managing mental health
