Homelessness
People experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their home.
HOUSING AND MENTAL HEALTH
A safe home can be the beginning of positive change
Housing difficulties can have a significant impact on mental health and wellbeing. Worry about losing your home, homelessness, unsafe accommodation or uncertainty about where you will live can affect every part of daily life.
LilyAnne’s Wellbeing does not provide or allocate housing. Our role is focused on mental health, emotional wellbeing and helping people understand where they may be able to access appropriate support.
For supported accommodation, we work alongside Precision Acres, a registered charity providing supported housing through professional referral pathways.
OUR HOUSING PARTNER
Precision Acres
Precision Acres provides safe, supported accommodation for people facing homelessness, housing insecurity, domestic abuse and other circumstances where additional housing support may be needed.
Accommodation is accessed through professional referral pathways rather than a public walk-in housing service. Each referral is considered individually, taking account of housing need, support requirements, risk information and available accommodation.
Precision Acres currently lists supported housing in areas including Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Durham, subject to suitability and availability.
