3 Bridge Solution Supported Lodgings Hosts (Landlords) come from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures, truly representing the demographic of the community. Our Hosts are carefully vetted, with Enhanced DBS, CRS and Tenancy Relations checks and are fully trained in areas such as Safeguarding, Mental Health, First Aid, Equal Opportunities, Modern Slavery, working in a Person Centric way, Restorative Practice, Trauma Informed support and much more.

Our Progression Coaches work with both the young person (Lodger) and Host, supporting both to maximise the benefits of the Supported Lodgings placement and help provide the best possible environment for young people to feel at home. A Life Skills programme is agreed early in the Supported Lodgings placement and each person’s role in the development of the programme clearly defined.  

The Progression Coach carries out regular reviews of the Supported Lodgings placement as well as supporting the young person toward positive outcomes in areas such as: education, employment and training, budgeting and money management, positive relationships, emotional wellbeing, staying safe, community involvement, and encourages the young person to enjoy opportunities to engage in activities and to celebrate their success.
