Cloverhill family accommodation based service opened its doors in 2008 and has been providing high quality accommodation and support to families since then.
Cloverhill offers 18 self-contained apartments with their own bathroom, living/dining room and separate kitchen. There are also communal spaces: two lounges, large indoor and outdoor play areas, laundry room and an arts and crafts room.
Once living in the service, each family has a dedicated key worker who, together with the family, identifies the areas of need for them. A support plan is then put in place and can cover many areas but the main focus is always to get families moved to permanent accommodation of their choice as quickly as is possible.
The service offers families the time and space to address the issues that lead to their homelessness. Depaul’s dedicated child support worker also works with children in Cloverhill, setting aside one-to-one time for those children who are struggling with the impact homelessness has had on their lives.
Cloverhill service is based in West Belfast.
Cloverhill is jointly managed by Depaul and Radius Housing Association and funded by the Supporting People Programme. Children’s services continue to be funded by BBC Children In Need.
Cloverhill accepts referrals from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, out of hours referrals from Social Services can be accepted on an emergency basis only.
