To ensure young people do not suffer from lack of support and advice relevant to their development and housing needs and equally to enable them to achieve their full potential, and thus promote community cohesion.

What we do:
KYHP manages the Park View hostel in Kingswood which provides supported housing for eight young people.
We provide a floating support scheme for young people with mental health needs.
Together with South Glos council we run a training flat where care leavers stay for short periods to help them prepare for independent living.
