Could you be a Supported Lodgings host?
Supported Lodgings hosts provide secure accommodation in a supportive home environment for 16–24-year-olds who have nowhere safe to live.
As a host, you would open your home and provide a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for a young person at risk of homelessness, as well as an opportunity to develop their skills for independent living.
Our staff will provide the young person with additional education, training, employment, and wellbeing support.
You may be asked to support care leavers, asylum seekers, young people experiencing domestic abuse, discrimination based on sexuality, or a family breakdown.
All hosts will be provided with training and support and receive a payment to cover their costs.
