Housing
GCY
MCA provides supported housing for 93 Service Users at one time through the 67-unit hostel at Peaks Lane and the 26-unit Foyer located on Orwell Street, Grimsby.
These housing projects work very closely with the Local Authority Housing Department, Criminal Justice Agencies, Substance Misuse Services, employment and training partners and other specialist young people’s services.
The 67-unit hostel at Peaks Lane was constructed in the 1960s and Service Users are provided with a room with a sink.
Meals are provided in the communal dining room and there is a lounge and training room with Internet access.
Project Workers work jointly with Service Users to agree objectives that help to address key issues including finance, substance use, family breakdown, educational and work opportunities.
Central to the process is the identification of and working towards accessing suitable move on accommodation. Strong partnership working with local agencies means professionals in health, job opportunities, education and substance use provide individual and group interventions and information for Service Users.
The 26-unit Foyer in Orwell Street, Grimsby was completed in 2003 and works upon a self-contained model of supported housing. All the units are fully equipped with kitchens and showers and living space. For more information, please visit our special section on The Foyer.
As a requirement for staying at the Foyer, Service Users need to be accessing education, voluntary work or employment. The support planning system mirrors that at the hostel. Length of stay is considerably longer than Peaks Lane, with an average of 12 months.
GCYMCA is committed to providing services that allow people the opportunity to develop and realize their full potential. Central to our future is the firm belief that services delivered must subscribe to the principles of fairness and impartiality.
All services should adhere to pertinent professional standards and objectives, in line with Supporting People outcomes and Every Child Matters outcomes.
However, GCYMCA seeks to go beyond these standards and become a market leader in the local community through combining a compassionate and sensitive approach to our work with high levels of professional excellence.
Services
GCYMCA is geared towards providing the best possible service to its Service Users through a wide range of events and activities both at the Peaks Lane and Foyer sites.
