PD’s last tenancy prior to engagement with Housing First was 20 years ago and he had spent the last 5 years rough sleeping. PD was referred by the complex needs housing panel, and his case was allocated to the navigation team. Navigators made contact with PD and used an active engagement approach to build a strong relationship with him. This developed trust and confidence for PD that support was not reliant on him ‘jumping through the right hoops’ but was unconditional and reliable. PD worked closely with his navigator for 4 months prior to moving into his tenancy in an area of his choice. He has remained in the tenancy for 20 months.
In Bradford, Housing First is delivered by Bridge in partnership with Waythrough.
Thanks to the press for reporting on this important service for Bradford.
We are committed to providing safe, respectful services and homes where everyone is treated with dignity. We take Anti‑Social Behaviour (ASB) seriously and will act promptly, proportionately and fairly to prevent harm, resolve issues early, and protect those affected. Our ASB Statement aligns with Bradford’s Eviction Prevention Protocol, ensuring enforcement action is always a last resort and that early intervention, support and problem‑solving are prioritised. If you would like to share third‑party feedback—whether it’s a concern, a compliment, or an ASB report—please download this feedback form and email it to info@thebridgeproject.org.uk to tell us what’s happened.
