Housing First

The Housing First scheme allows us to offer fast track access to housing for service users who meet the following criteria:

• Complex Needs
• Homeless (or vulnerable housing)
• Female (or identifying as) sex worker
• Limited/no access to mainstream housing
• In need of intensive support

How to refer: 

Fill out a Referral Form and send it to nicola.pickup@basisyorkshire.org.uk

A joint needs/risk assessment is made in partnership with Turning Lives Around. Housing First is unconditional other than engaging with Basis. Support is not only to find a property anywhere in Leeds; in addition intensive support is offered for as long as is necessary. Please note that we have a limited number of spaces.
