Amber Valley Projects provides specialist supported housing for adults who are struggling to keep their own home or who are at risk of homelessness. The service is based in Belper, Derbyshire, and focuses on helping people build the skills and confidence they need to live independently.
Homelessness Support
The scheme offers an intensive housing management and advice service. Staff work with you regularly to help you develop the skills needed for independent living. Support is practical, person‑centred, and focused on helping you feel more stable and confident in your day‑to‑day life.
Referrals
You can access Amber Valley Projects through self‑referral or by being referred through an external agency, such as Amber Valley Borough Council Futures Homescape.
You must be aged between 20 and 65 to be eligible. There is no fixed time limit on how long you can stay. When you feel ready, staff can help you look at move‑on options by working with other housing providers and private landlords. This support only begins once you feel confident about living independently.
Getting the most out of the service
Residents are encouraged to have a voice in how the service runs. You are supported to share feedback with staff so the service can continue to improve.
The team also helps you reconnect with the wider community by signposting you to work opportunities, training, and social activities in the local area.
