How we help at The Crossings
Based in Hull, The Crossings is a Places of Change scheme for the homeless, providing temporary accommodation with support and training.
It aims to break the vicious cycle of homelessness and workless-ness, offering a skills and training culture.
You’ll find:
- Purpose built, high-standard en-suite rooms for single occupation with shared communal kitchen
- Staff on site 24/7 with secure access and a 24-hour manned reception, secure door entry system and 24-hour CCTV
- A one-to-one Support Worker who will develop a tailored Support Plan, with six-weekly reviews
- Advice and practical support on health care and finance
- Support accessing training, volunteering, education and employment opportunities
- Signposting to external support to help with individual needs, such as drug or alcohol treatment
How it works
The Crossings is open to the homeless, or those at risk of homelessness, over the age of 18.
Referrals are via Local Assessment Centres and the Local Authority and any relevant agency.
You’ll be invited for a risk and needs assessment to check you are eligible for the scheme.
