Safe@Silas – A Supported Housing Project
Nightsafe’s Safe @ Silas Project offers 24 hour support to young homeless people.
What To Expect
Safe@Silas is a supported housing project based in Blackburn. It is a converted Parish Church Hall and offers 24 hour support to young homeless people.
Regular training sessions are run by partner agencies such as Brook sexual health service.
Each young person has their own en-suite room with a shared kitchen, communal lounge and a training / activity room.
All residents are assigned a support worker who works with them to co-produce a bespoke action plan with agreed outcomes, which are reviewed at approx 1, 6 and 12 month intervals to help them move forward to achieve their goals and aspirations.
Staff provide support with life skills, including budgeting, cooking, health, education, training & employment and help with filling in forms.
