REFERRAL PROCESS

referral2-300x171Our supported accommodation is based on a referral process for anyone aged 20 and over, and couples in need of supported accommodation. We do not accept children.
All individuals must be referred by a partner agency such as Social Services, the Local Authority, Police, HM Prisons, Probation, NHS, GPs, and other social care professionals who should have assessed and identified the person’s support needs.
• Following referral of an individual, a face-to-face or telephone assessment is undertaken by our specialist support and counselling team.
• Where the referred individual or couple is/are determined suitable, a licence and support agreement will be offered to that individual or couple with the intention to provide the required support in our fully furnished accommodation.
• An individualised support/care plan is then completed based on the needs identified
• Nissi Homes provides daily support via the Housing/ Support Officers through routine appointments, visits, phone calls etc
• Structured support is provided by our support and Counselling team through bi-weekly prearranged appointments that focus on the needs, aims and agreed aspirations of the individual and focus on tangible outcomes, including employment, maintaining a tenancy, becoming self employed, volunteering, training, education, basic skills acquisition, reduction and abstinence from drug and alcohol dependency.
• Less tangible outcomes, such as the development of social and domestic skills with the ultimate objective of seeking independent accommodation are also given close attention; the majority of which will be provided by Nissi Homes via its housing/ support officers.
•Nissi Homes remains responsible for the day to day responsive and structured support regulated by the support agreement
