Application and Eligibility

The Housing and Support service is available to adult men who are experiencing, or are at risk of, homelessness. All applicants must be able to demonstrate that they are vulnerable and would benefit from the specific support services provided by Glen Carne.The Glen Carne Supported Living service can provide a longer term and a very supportive service that is adjacent to the proprietors’ own accommodation; it is therefore particularly suitable for more vulnerable clients including those with diagnosed minor or medium mental health problems and learning difficulties.Applicants for the Glen Carne Foyer must also demonstrate a commitment to an educational, training or work placement. In most instances this will be attendance of the on-site Horticultural Course, Literacy and Numeracy classes, and any other courses deemed appropriate which are provided in partnership with local colleges.The Glen Carne Foyer can provide accommodation for a wheelchair user or other disabled person.Glen Carne is unable to accommodate Schedule 1 offenders or anyone who has a spent or unspent offence that may suggest that they could be a risk to other people that they share accommodation with. For example, offences relating to arson, violence or harassment of another person, are all likely to be reasons for exclusion.Use of alcohol or illegal drugs is not tolerated at Glen Carne.Glen Carne will assess the risk of all applicants. If an applicant presents too high a risk to other people or to themselves they will not be housed at Glen Carne, although alternative accommodation will be suggested wherever possible. The level of support that can be provided at Glen Carne is limited. If the need for support from Glen Carne is assessed as exceeding 12 hours per week then the application will not be accepted and alternative advice given.
