Our Mission
At Safer Accommodations, our mission is to ensure that all young adults placed within our care feel safe, happy and secure and that they receive access to high quality, supported living accommodation that meets their individuals needs and enables them to fulfil their potential.
How We Operate
Safer Accommodations have been established since 2023 and work in partnership with local authorities and other external entities to provide high quality supported living accommodation and outreach support across London to young adults aged 18-25 who are care leavers that are leaving custody including, young refugees and asylum seekers. Additionally, we are specialists in working with young adults aged 18-25 who are experiencing family and community exclusion or leaving a regulated care setting or have been kicked out of their respective home and seeking supported living accommodation on a long-term basis.
Our current supported living accommodations in London aim to offer our service users a single-room occupancy along with modern facilities and a safe environment throughout each placement within our care. With the help and expertise from our professional and highly experienced staff, our supported living placements aim to help and support young adults to prepare for independent living and have a brighter future.
Ultimately, our organisational vision is:
- To provide high quality, supported living accommodation and support for all young adults aged 18-25 who access our services throughout London
- To reach and meet the needs of every young adult who requires our help and inspire them to live safe, healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.
- To drive, sustain and further develop our services while building and maintaining effective partnerships with local authorities and other external entities
- To continuously review the effectiveness and quality of support provided by Safer Accommodations including stability of placements for young adults placed within our services across London
