The Bradford City Centre Project assists primarily with accommodation and homelessness in single young people, as well as offer advice on benefits, legal matters or other issues that may be.
Opening Hours:
The Advice Service runs as a drop in from 12:30am-3:30pm every day except Wednesday. An advisor will be there to discuss with the young people about their issues. Homeless young people are advised to come in as early as possible to be seen sooner.
Appointments:
A young person who has attended one of our drop-in sessions can during that session arrange an appointment with the advice worker they spoke to. The appointment will have to be outside opening hours.
We cannot arrange appointments during the times of the Advice Session opening hours.
Recreational Activities:
For the other activities taking place, please visit the Activities Section
Management Issues:
For any matters regarding the running of the organisation, general enquiries, complaints, policies or volunteering, please get in touch with the Line Manager or the Project Administrator.
Opening Hours: The Shipley Team are open to the public Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 1:30pm - 3:30pm Appointments can be made outside these hours by ringing the Shipley office.
The Service: The Shipley Team helps young people who are homeless or wish to move in Shipley or Baildon through the Supported Tenancy Scheme.
Please Note: We do not send out housing application forms.
How it works: There are regular drop in sessions in which young people can refer themselves to the scheme. Agencies can also make referrals on behalf of the young people.
Please Note : We cannot process referrals through e-mail. If you wish to make a referral of a young person, please send a FAX or get in touch through the telephone.
What happens next: Once the appointment has been made, the young person will be interviewed to assess their eligibility to the Scheme. They will then sign an agreement and go on the waiting list. During this process they will be helped through with Housing Management, Budgeting as well as look into Education, Training and/or Employment.
After a place has been found, the young person will become a Supported Tenant for a minimum period of 6 months, during which workers will guide them through towards establishing themselves as Secure Tenants. Supported Tenants are strongly encouraged to keep regular contact with the Shipley Team.
Tenants who have qualified for Resettlement will have an approximate of 8 more weeks of assistance.
