How we can helpShelter Scotland will provide parents with expert housing, welfare rights and money advice and advocacy.

Aberlour - Scotland’s Children’s Charity, will support parents and children in their homes, in school and in community settings.

Working with the family, local services and schools we will create a unique plan for each family to meet their long-term housing needs.

Families might be:

• struggling with rent arrears

• living in poor conditions

• living in an overcrowded property

• living in unsuitable temporary accommodation

• experiencing debt, money or benefit issues

• under threat of eviction

• living with domestic or external abuse

• affected by offending behaviour

• experiencing mental or physical health issues

• experiencing drug and alcohol issues

Referral guidanceFamilies referred by the local authority, delivery partners, local services or self-referral will be:

• homeless or at risk of homelessness

• in the south area of Glasgow

• a household with children aged 16 or under (including unborn children)

Referrals should be sent to ourjourneyhome@shelter.org.uk.

Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and delivered by Shelter Scotland and Aberlour - Scotland’s Children’s Charity, families will be empowered to put the needs of their children first, and find sustainable housing solutions that work for them.
