The houses will have a supportive community of peer tenants who will live alongside and provide day-to-day support to the homeless young person/people moving in, in addition to support being provided by an Open Homes worker. The idea is to create a welcoming community to bring a homeless young person into, similar to Nightstop, where young people stay in a host’s home and join in with normal family life whilst there. Having the stable community around them will provide positive peer pressure to encourage them to keep up with rent payments, inspire them to start studying or working, to experience healthy friendships, and improve self-esteem. A rewards system, giving takeaways or trips out to tenants for keeping up with rent and doing chores, will encourage responsibility and reinforce the community feel of the houses.
