A new team to assist homeless people with high and complex needs has
been launched across Denbighshire and Conwy.
The Housing First pilot aims to ensure people are settled as quickly as
possible into their own home and are provided with the support they need, at
their own pace, and for as long as they need it, to sustain their tenancy.
There is an emerging evidence base to show this innovative approach has
the potential to deliver a sustainable exit from homelessness, improve health
and well-being and enable social integration.
This approach is being supported and funded by the Welsh Government,
with the team working with Denbighshire County Council and Conwy County Borough
Council.
Cllr Bobby Feeley, Denbighshire County Council’s lead member for Well-being
and Independence, said: “I’m pleased we will be operating the Housing First
pilot to provide additional support to those residents who are experiencing
long-term homelessness.”
