Stevenage Haven has secured funding from Herts County Council's Building Community Resilience Programme which is part of the current HWAS scheme. The grant of £23,500 will fund an extension of our floating support project until April 2016 increasing the number of staff from two to three. This will enable staff in this frontline team to meet the demands associated with the increase in clients at our Stevenage location from 18 to 40 as well as extending the service in North Herts Sanctuary. There will also be a greater emphasis on floating support staff improving outcomes for ex-residents relating to health and employment.
