Step 1: Application

Potential clients must first be referred by the NI Housing Executive. The Lighthouse then carry out both a Risk & Needs Assessment before offering clients their service.

Step 2: Key Workers

Clients who have completed the referral process are provided with Key Workers who will aid them in their person-centred support plans for growth and development.

Step 3: Support

Key workers encourage and support clients as they move on to a place where they can live independently again. If needed, the staff at the Hostel will ensure the client receives the help of professional local services.
