We’re building 84 homes for young people at risk of homelessness in Plymouth & Torbay.

THE GROWING NEED

Young people in Plymouth and Torbay are getting stuck in temporary emergency accommodation because there are no move-on housing options. The result is regression in behaviour and blocking other young people from accessing emergency support.

In 2023, 80 young people in Plymouth had no access to supported housing and were at risk of homelessness and rough sleeping.

Complexity of support needs are also increasing. In 2024, it was predicted 300 young adults will soon require Adult Social Care support in Plymouth alone.

In Torbay, the number of care-experienced young people has soared, with a 42% increase since 2011. Today, there are 469 care-experienced young people living in Torbay.

OUR SOLUTION

We are creating two new Supported Housing Pathways in Plymouth and Torbay to provide a comprehensive move-on solution for young people facing challenges in securing stable housing.

Our support approach is holistic; encompassing housing, bespoke support and community integration – with a large focus on Employment, Meaningful Occupation, Training and Education (EMOTE).
