About the Project
The Adferiad Ceredigion Time Critical Intervention (TCI) service is funded by Ceredigion County Council Housing Support Grant and was established by the Local Authority to provide quicker access to vulnerable people in Ceredigion who have identified housing-related support needs. TCI is also designed to enhance existing rapid rehousing systems. The Wallich is the lead provider and Adferiad, as the county’s mental health specialist, works in partnership with the Wallich to offer their referrals as a floating or outreach support to those who are experiencing a serious mental illness and have housing-related support needs.
Who do we support?
Our service is available to anyone in Ceredigion aged over 16yrs who has a serious mental illness, no immediate access to settled accommodation, and whose needs match the threshold covered by the Housing Support Criteria.
How do we do it?
We support individuals to engage with community and housing services; with each individual Adferiad staff identify the priorities and actions that they need assistance with to find accommodation and feel safe. We help with managing their mental health and refer to other organisations and specific specialists so that individuals can become more independent and maintain longer-term tenancies, with the aim of breaking the cycle of homelessness and vulnerability and ensuring they
can live independently. Adferiad staff also help individuals to access additional or alternative support that they need from other services, such as the NHS or local authority.
Referral
Individuals will need to have a local connection with Ceredigion; have a serious mental illness and be at risk of losing their tenancy and require housing-related support. Referrals to Adferiad can be made by Ceredigion County Council Housing
Support Grant Team / The Wallich or by The Care Society.
