About the Project
Northgate House Supported Accommodation is based in Haverfordwest and is a detached house rented by Adferiad from ATEB Housing Association. Northgate House provides temporary supported accommodation to occupants with alcohol and substance use issues. We provide support for individuals who have been through a treatment programme for their alcohol / substance use, as part of their Wellbeing Programme. There are two elements of the project; the temporary supported accommodation (shared house), and the delivery of the floating support service across the County of Pembrokeshire.
Who do we support?
At Northgate House, we support occupants with alcohol and substance use who have left rehab and need support to continue to follow the plan set out for recovery from the substance use service CDAT/DDAS.
How do we do it?
We support clients towards a person-centred support plan with an aim of preventing homelessness. The support we provide includes: claiming benefits., budgeting and debt management, finding out about services that are in the area, supporting to attend initial appointments, and signposting to relevant support agencies. Staff encourage occupants to be involved in typical social activities with friends and each other, e.g. college, training, hobbies, holidays, volunteering, work placements etc. Overall, individuals are supported and encouraged to reach their goals and potential in preparation for independent living.
