We are providing Support to Disadvantaged Citizens right across the UK. We specialise in assisting citizens from backgrounds that include ex-offender, mental illness, homelessness, addiction and ex-service personnel. We incorporate far more than simple accommodation.
We believe firmly that a simple provision of housing is not a long term solution to any citizens needs. With this in mind we have developed the Aspire Supported Living housing solution. Whereby with a broad ranging and fully encompassing approach to our work, we include far more than just accommodation in our housing solution.
Of course safe, secure and good quality housing is at the very heart of what we do, however this is just a start.
As soon as appropriate housing has been provided, our support team begin their work. These dedicated members of our team work on a floating basis and are there to help wherever needed to ensure our citizens can maintain their tenancy. This could be in assisting with housing benefit, council tax, utility bills or housing maintenance, through to signposting and support for mental health or addiction issues.
Our support though does not end with the basics. We genuinely do want all our citizens to be given every opportunity they can to be able to turn their life around and get back on their own two feet. It is here that we work to establish a personal progression plan with all our citizens and then from this put in place a system of steps in order to achieve their highlighted personal goals.
It could be that these personal goals are health, social, financial, emotional, qualification or vocational based. Or in the majority of cases a combination of all of these elements.
Of course the Birmingham housing Supported Living system can not operate in isolation and as such we work closely with a large number of partner organisations and our own citizens. It is from these close working relationships that we are able to continually evolve and develop our system to be the best possible.
