Depaul Young Peoples Dispersed Accommodation Service provides housing and support to vulnerable young people (including couples and young parents) who are resettling after a period of living without a permanent home. The service aims to help young people develop the independent living skills necessary to manage and sustain their accommodation, so that they are able to manage financially; keep safe; engage with education, training and employment providers; be healthy and engage positively in their communities and wider society.
