Since 2012, we have worked closely with Renfrewshire Council to deliver a Housing First approach, ensuring people who are experiencing homelessness and have complex needs are supported directly into a permanent tenancy, rather than having to prove they can manage a house. We believe a home provides a sense of belonging, increases feelings of self-worth, makes a person feel part of their community and help move on from challenges they are facing, or have faced.
The Housing Support approach delivers person-centred support to people who have experienced homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless in the Renfrewshire area. We also offer access to services for mental health, problematic alcohol and other drug use and social opportunities.
MYLA engages with people experiencing challenges related to alcohol, other drugs, and housing or homelessness. The team work with individuals who are:
• Not engaged in services, partially engaged in services or have lost contact with services.
• Perhaps only engaging in prescribed medication, but not engaged in psychosocial interventions.
We deliver assertive outreach with short term harm reduction interventions, low level support and care co-ordination, and/or high level support and care co-ordination.
