The Referral Process

NOMAD accepts both self-referrals and agency referrals. Most of our clients have been referred through the Local Authority Homeless Section, Bridges (Leaving Care), Youth Offending, Probation, Risky Business, Connexions, voluntary organisations and family members.

The referral process usually starts with the initial contact, either a telephone call, or a visit from a young person enquiring about accommodation.

To qualify for a place with NOMAD, certain criteria have to be met. Firstly the young person must be in need of accommodation and within the age range (16 - 25). They must not have a history of arson, sexual offences or violence towards minors. They must be in receipt of benefits, either Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance or equivalent. We may accept referrals if the young person is working, under certain circumstances.
