Who do we help?

Humber Road is a specialist scheme which offers support and accommodation to adults with mental health and substance misuse issues within the London Borough of Greenwich.

The service supports adults and is aimed at people who are experiencing housing need who also have a dual diagnosis such as mental health and substance misuse, however clients referred will have completed a programme of detox or recovery. It encourages people to develop and improve their ability to live as independently as possible.

About the scheme

We can support four people at any one time and residents stay for up to two years. At the end of this period they are supported to make the move into independent accommodation and are offered up to six months of resettlement support in order to help this transition.

The scheme consists of four self contained studio flats which each have a kitchen area, bathroom and toilet.  They are furnished with all the essential items people need, including a bed, cooker and fridge and there is also a communal lounge at the scheme.

Each resident at the Humber Road scheme is assigned a support worker who they meet with regularly. Outside of these support visits residents can contact in touch Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm to receive extra advice or support.

We work with people to identify their needs and to find ways to achieve their goals. The support can focus on things like housing, health, money and community activities. This is agreed in a Personal Development Plan, which we regularly review with service users.

We maintain good links with specialist services in the area such as The Beresford Project and The Heights Mental Health Team in order to provide extra, more specialist support.

What next?

The support received at Humber Road will not cost you anything as it is funded by the Supporting People Team at the London Borough of Greenwich.
