Torfaen Housing First

Torfaen Housing First provides housing and support for anyone over the age of 18, who is experiencing homelessness or rough sleeping

 

We help people find a permanent home quickly – rather than finding temporary solutions, such as a hostel place – in Torfaen.

We work with people across Torfaen including Cwmbran, and Pontypool.

Ongoing support is then put in place to help people settle in and maintain their new home. 

The core principles for Housing First are: 

• Housing is a human right 
• People should have choice and control 
• Housing is not conditional on support or treatment 
• Support is recovery-oriented 
• Support focuses on harm reduction 
• Active engagement without coercion 
• Planning is person-centred 
• Flexible support is available, as long as required
