The Humbercare Accommodation Scheme (Hull & East Riding) has been set up to meet the growing need to prepare young people in the area for adult life and equip them with the life and social skills necessary for independent living. All young people to the scheme are referred by Local Authority Departments and are assessed as young people at risk and in need.

The project recruits Accommodation Providers who can offer suitable, safe and well-supported accommodation for young people aged between 15 - 21, either on a short or long term basis. The Accommodation Providers receive on-going support from Humbercare workers, as well as a weekly allowance. Accommodation Providers can be as varied as the young people we place with them and a suitable match is always sought in order for a placement to be successful.

Young people referred to the scheme have a named social worker, who continues to offer them support for the duration of the placement. Humbercare staff also provide on-going support for the young person.
