A new scheme providing young people leaving care with a safe home and support to live independently has been launched by West Sussex County Council. The first West Sussex House Project will bring together groups of young people up to the age of 25 who are moving out of care and into adulthood.

"Children in care who are moving towards adulthood are supported to prepare for greater independence. The local authority has invested in a bespoke housing project for children leaving care, to offer them extensive support in setting up home for the first time. A small number of children have started on this scheme, which offers a wraparound service, including therapeutic and peer support, so that they have the best opportunity to succeed in their new homes. While at an early stage of implementation, the project is showing positive signs of addressing care leavers’ needs in a holistic way.”
