How we support you

TCHA offers 24 hour supported housing accommodation, with a key worker system training young people to live independently in the community in a safe and responsible way, through person centred individual planning.
We operate a referral procedure in the first instant with Tamworth Borough Council Housing Department.

Other referring agencies are:
  Staffordshire Leaving Care
  Staffordshire Learning Disabilities
  Staffordshire Probation
  Staffordshire Youth Offending Team
  CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau)

Progression
During their time at TCHA each individual is assessed and helped by our Learning & Skills Centre where, in order to move forward and as part of their tenancy agreement, they are expected to complete at least two Life Skills Course Units. In terms of tenancy the route is as follows:

  1. Intensive Support Unit – one room, shared facilities.
  2. Cluster – studio apartment, own facilities.
  3. Flat – self-contained flat, own tenancy.
  4. Resettlement – assessed and readied for independent living.

If the support needed falls outside of the TCHA remit, the young person will be referred to the appropriate agency such as Learning Disability Team, Connexions, Bromford Housing etc.

When they have been assessed and feel ready they will be referred for a flat within the community with the help of our Floating Support Service should they require it.
