YOUNG PEOPLE ARE AT AN INCREASED RISK OF HOMELESSNESS

Our young people housing supports young adults experiencing homelessness in Andover, Hampshire, and across Wiltshire for those aged 16-21 years old, who are either homeless or facing homelessness, are leaving local authority care, or are young unaccompanied asylum seekers. Our services are either 24-hour support or semi-supported housing.

Referrals for our leaving care supported accommodation can only be made from social services teams. We do, however, welcome enquiries from outside of the county. Please use the telephone numbers alongside.

HOMES, SUPPORT & TRAINING

Alabaré runs two foyers for young people aged 16–21: one in Andover and one in Wiltshire. Foyers offer both housing and learning opportunities.

Andover Foyer is centrally located and accepts referrals from Hampshire County Council, Test Valley Borough Council, or self-referrals. We also support young parents and Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children.

Wiltshire Foyer accepts referrals only via Wiltshire Council’s Homeless Team. All homes are near town centres and colleges.

Our teams help you settle in, create a personalised support plan, and work with other agencies. We also offer in-house training to build confidence, support employment, and prepare you for independent living.

CHARLIE’S STORY

Charlie’s mental health, since he was a young teenager, has been low; in the past, he self-harmed and misused medication. With all the uncertainty and change from living at home, his mental health began to decline, and Charlie lost motivation for college.

Homelessness

Throughout our homeless accommodation and drop-in service, we support hundreds of people who are homeless every year.

Homelessness isn’t just about losing a roof; it’s about losing stability, safety, and wellbeing. Early support can stop the trauma before it starts.
