Referrals

 

Shared Housing Scheme

As a partner organisation in the City of Yorks Single Access Point Project, Peasholme Charity is now asking for all referrals/applications for the Shared Housing Scheme Centre to be sent directly to Alice Walker at CYC. Alice, as coordinator for The Single Access Point will act as a “clearing house” for all Resettlement Service referrals and will ensure that they are passed on to the most appropriate service.

The new SAP application form , to be found on this website, replaces the Peasholme Shared Housing Application form that was previously in use.

In order that effective communication is maintained between all parties the following will apply:

  1. A housing worker will contact each interviewee’s referring agency within seven days of
  2.  receipt of the application to discuss it. Any further information required will be addressed and the client will be either offered an interview or their application will be turned down. Any client not placed on the waiting list will be given a written explanation addressed to the referrer.
  3. Two SHS staff will interview each client. The referrer may accompany clients.
  4. SHS staff normally contact the referrer within 24 hours of the interview but when several interviews have taken place within a few days it may take longer. SHS staff will inform the referrer whether or not the client has been accepted onto the waiting list.
  5. If there is a specific issue that needs to be addressed before a client could be offered a place in the scheme, their referring agency will be informed. No offer will be made until the issue has been addressed. There may be a requirement for the client to be re-interviewed.
  6. If a client is not suitable for the scheme their referring agency will be informed and given a written explanation of the specific reasons why this decision has been taken.
  7. All offers of accommodation will be made in writing.
