Aspire provides a wide range of services in the Glasgow Area.

Resettlement Services

We are currently operating four resettlement services in the north and south of the city.

The resettlement services provide individual and shared living opportunities to people with on-site 24 hour staff support.

The aim is that individuals live at these supported accommodation services for a period of 6 to 24 months prior to achieving their own permanent tenancy.

Each person has an Occupancy Agreement and is responsible for rent and Council Tax payments as well as for other regular household costs – fuel, food etc. The services enable individuals to develop the confidence and skills that are necessary to maintain tenancies in the future.

The 4 services are:

1. Garscube

This service was established in November 2004 in the north of Glasgow and comprises 10 self-contained flats within one property which is a tenemental close. There is also a staff office and staff sleepover accommodation within the building. Each individual has his/her own Occupancy Agreement which includes a rent and service charge for the furnished accommodation.

2. Ashfield 

This service was established in January 2005 in north Glasgow and comprises 10 self-contained flats scattered over 3 buildings in close proximity. There is also a staff office and staff sleepover accommodation within the area. Each individual has his/her own Occupancy Agreement which includes a rent and service charge for the furnished accommodation.

3. Cathkin 

This service is located in a terraced house in the south side of Glasgow and provides 8 individual rooms with en-suites, together with cooking facilities and communal space.

4. Maxwell 

This service was established in the south side of Glasgow and is comprised of 8 en-suite bedrooms and communal kitchen and lounge facilities. This service became operational in July 2006 and supports older individuals requiring longer term resettlement opportunities.

Community Services

We currently work in partnership with the local authority's Homelessness Casework teams in the east and north east of Glasgow to provide a Housing Support service to a wide range of individuals and families living in temporary furnished accommodation. In addition, we work preventatively to support people who are at risk of losing their tenancy and becoming homeless. Referrals come from Community Casework Teams, Social Work, Health Teams and Housing Associations.

Emergency Accommodation Services

These services are currently being established to provide both accommodation and low level housing support as required. They are being developed in conjunction with Glasgow City Council's Homelessness Partnership. The accommodation consists of individual rooms with shared kitchens, bathrooms and lounge areas. They are being developed as a short term accommodation measure for individuals who will be assisted to move on to longer term accommodation. The Emergency Accommodation Services provide for those who would otherwise have been accommodated in Bed & Breakfasts. Referrals to these services can be made by the Hamish Allan Centre
