Whilst BYHP currently is not able to provide somewhere for a young person to stay, we support young people in finding and maintaining accommodation, which can be difficult given the challenges that are faced when trying to access affordable housing in the Banbury area.
Our experienced team members, who have close working relationships with the Housing Team at Cherwell District Council and links to a variety of Housing Associations and Private Landlords, supports BYHPs clients in understanding and navigating the processes set up to apply for council managed accommodation or to access private rented accommodation. Young people do manage to access council accommodation and private rented accommodation at times, which often results in us supporting them with understanding tenancies, managing their finances, learning how to live independently and everything else that they need to know when it comes to successfully living on their own. Private tenancies often do not go as planned and that is where we play a key role in making sure that disputes are resolved properly to prevent any negative outcome for the young tenant, such as having to leave the property. BYHP also helps provide useful items for young people accessing accommodation, and works with partners to obtain other items required for independent living. |
