Hostels pathway
The hostels pathway aims to ensure that vulnerable and homeless people are actively supported to change behaviour, raise their aspirations, gain meaningful occupation and most importantly move from a state of homelessness and dependence to independent living and social inclusion.
Key elements
- levels or stages of change and progress
- agreed “designated” referral agents
- timely move through and move on
- standard operational documents and plans
- core principles and minimum standards
- community safety and locality management
Four main stages
- assessment
- specialist support (including mental health, ex-offenders and substance misuse)
- progress and
- move through
Normally a person will start in assessment where support needs are assessed and the right service is identified.
The person may move from there to a specialist support or progress place according to needs.
The final stage is move through where people are helped to acquire independent living skills.
People who have been evicted or are at risk of eviction from pathway services may be placed in multiple exclusion beds where extra support is provided.
