Alabaré's long term goals

To achieve our vision, we have set ourselves long term goals for Alabaré.  Realistically we will not achieve them by 2011.  Below is outlined what we will do to work towards them between 2007 and 2011.

1. An end to homelessness

The primary goal of Alabaré is to end homelessness for our service users.  We want to ensure that there are appropriate services that actively prevent homelessness.  This will be through our floating support services and information and advice services.  When someone does become homeless, we aim to provide the appropriate safety net - our drop in centres, direct access accommodation and supported housing projects and that appropriate move on accommodation is available.

2. Provide the right support

Everyone in need has access to support that enables them to find and keep their home.  This means support that prevents people losing their home, helps them to resolve their housing difficulties and improves their housing situation.

3. Provide the right care

Some of our service users need regular long term care.  We aim to ensure that we provide appropriate and quality care to enable the service user to lead a more independent and fulfilling life.

4. Provide the right training

Housing, support and care are only part of the jigsaw.  Through the provision of formal or informal training we can support service users to gain new skills which can help them to become involved in their local community, go onto other training or undertake paid or voluntary work.
