In partnership with The Salvation Army, SAHA has been developing its 'Bridging the Gap' project.  The Project aims to help support residents in resolving the issues that arise from moving on from a temporary supported environment to independent living.  These issues can include:

Loneliness and isolation

Lack of basic furniture and cooking facilities

Lack of links to the community

Through partnership working between residents, the local Salvation Army Officers, the LifeHouses/agency managed centres and SAHA Housing Officers, support and information is shared to ensure that the resident is able to access the basics needed to succeed in a tenancy, to be able to access local services and to be able to access local community activities in order to build up positive friendships and relationships. 

If you would like to learn more about 'Bridging the Gap' and the positive outcomes it brings, please contact SAHA's Customer Service Centre on 0800 970 6363.
