Insite

Ages	16-25
Length of Stay	Up to 2 years
Support	Low

Insite provides accommodation and daily support for up to sixteen 16 - 25 year olds in shared dispersed properties across North Tyneside. This project is the stepping stone from 24 hour supported accommodation to young people achieving a single tenancy with floating support through to full independence. Two Project Workers and two EVS volunteers provide support in life skills and work with the young people to help them to eventually move onto their own tenancy.

What Can Young People Expect From Us?

• A commitment to help them gain the independent skills needed
• Resettlement help
• A chance to work at a pace that suits them
• Assistance to gain education, training or a job
• Their own support worker

What Do We Ask From Young People?
Living with other people requires commitment and involvement from all who live at any of the Insite properties.

• Keep their accommodation clean
• Attend all appointments and meetings including Keywork sessions, house meetings, careers meetings, Job Seekers etc.
• Follow the house rules
• Participate in the independent living skills programme
• Fill in all forms ie Housing Benefit and Job Seekers
• Talk to staff if there are any problems
