Open to Help provides intensive housing management and quality accommodation to vulnerable adults in the community, meeting their individual needs. We specialize in supporting those at risk of homelessness, struggling with mental/physical health, care leavers, learning difficulties, domestic abuse, and substance use.
Our compassionate team helps people in Darlington, Durham, and surrounding areas get the care and resources they need to thrive.
We provide tenancy related care, support and supervision in a person-centred way enabling the enhancement and development of life skills, personal growth, independence, choice and control.
Our underpinning ethos is to develop an individual’s capacity to live independently in the community and to develop or sustain basic life skills needed to hold down a tenancy or maintain a home.
We will create and deliver an intensive yet bespoke support programme for each tenant/household, offering practical, and varied tenancy related support, thus enabling tenants to sustain and manage their tenancy within the community through weekly support.
We will build and promote working relationships with social housing tenants focussing on their strengths whilst recognising some may have complex and multiple support needs.
We will also refer individuals to outside agencies to help them access the services needed, for example NHS, Mental Health Services or addiction services.
