How Our Host Program Works

Careful Matching Process

We take great care in matching young people with the right supported accommodation. Our thorough assessment process considers personalities, interests, living habits, and support needs to create successful, harmonious placements that benefit both hosts and young people.

Clear Expectations and Boundaries

Our host program framework establishes clear guidelines and expectations for both parties. This structure helps create consistency and security while allowing natural relationships to develop at their own pace.

Graduated Independence

As a host, you’ll play a crucial role in helping young people develop practical life skills. Our supported living approach encourages increasing independence over time, with hosts providing guidance on everything from cooking and budgeting to job searching and educational planning.

The Impact of Supported Lodgings in Young Lives

The statistics speak volumes: young people in supported lodgings are more likely to engage successfully in education, training, or employment. They develop stronger life skills, build healthier relationships, and experience greater overall wellbeing compared to other accommodation options.

“Being a supported lodgings host has been incredibly fulfilling. Seeing my lodger gain confidence, learn new skills, and eventually move on to complete independence was a privilege. The support from 3 Bridge Solution made the whole journey smooth and manageable.” — Current Host in Redbridge
