Young People’s Supported Accommodation (YPSA) is part of the county-wide pathways for young people in need of safe accommodation and specialist support.
In partnership with Response (who provide the management of the homes), We offer a highly aspirational service that defines the young adults it works with by their resilience, determination and potential, not the difficulties they have overcome. It is a system-change model commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council and sees Oxfordshire Youth supporting 90 young people aged 18-24 in high quality two, three and four bedroom homes across the county.
This vital service offers young people,many of whom are care leavers or unaccompanied asylum seekers a safe space, and trusted adults delivered in physiologically informed environments in which they can flourish. Our youth workers offer consistent support that enables them to grow in confidence and skill, in preparation for a move into independent living.
Our ambition is for vulnerable young people, or young people at risk of homelessness to engage with a life-changing offer of activities and youth work support. Our youth workers offer consistent advice that allows them to grow in confidence and skill, in preparation for a move into independent living.
Since the project began in 2020, we have supported 380 young people.
Oxfordshire Youth is proud to partner with Aspire, to enhance the opportunities for young people aged 18–24 living in our supported accommodation service.
We provide funding directly to these partners, who offer fast-track access to mental health support along with high-quality support for young people in YPSA to move into education, employment and training.
