At One Vision Housing, we are passionate about creating opportunities and changing lives. That’s why we are dedicated to improving our services and providing a smooth transition as well as ongoing support to help young people leaving care build a secure future.
Leaving care doesn’t have to be daunting. Our dedicated team is here to make the process as easy as possible. We offer a range of services including:
- Early access to housing: If agreed with Sefton Council, we can offer of a tenancy prior to an 18th birthday, via a Licence and Guarantor Agreement.
- Independent Living Service: Learn more about this service HERE.
- Furnished Package Service: Help setting up your new home with essential furniture and appliances (subject to criteria and funding).
- Home Starter Service: Financial assistance to help settle in your new home (subject to funding)
- Welfare Rights Assistance: Our team can help you access any benefits you may be entitled to.
We are constantly learning and improving. Recently we gathered valuable feedback from Care Experienced young customers to understand their experiences and needs better. This feedback is vital in helping us shape and expand our existing services to offer greater ongoing support.
As part of this commitment, we are currently in the process of hiring a dedicated and passionate Care Experience Young Persons Support Officer. This recruitment will further strengthen our approach and partnerships to ensure customers have the resources needed to thrive.
Ready to take the next step? We are here for you!
