Willesden Hostel
This long stay hostel provides accommodation and specialist support for young people aged 16-25 referred through Brent and other homelessness organisations. Here the young people are given more time in secure accommodation to develop life skills and establish a routine to their lives. Residents participate in cooking, cleaning and housekeeping as part of a community.
Steps House
On the same site six self-contained move on studio flats are available for young people who feel almost ready for independent living, but with the security of help close by.
Crash Pad
A 3 bed pilot project in Brent which aims to provide respite accommodation for young people aged 16-18 before either returning home or going into semi-independent accommodation. Young people are assisted to develop life skills, return to education or gain employment while receiving intensive one to one family mediation support.
