Our Services

---

We provide safe and nurturing homes to young people aged 16 and 25. Our accommodation is semi-independent, offering each young person tailored support to meet their unique needs. 

We specialise in supporting young people facing homelessness, including those who are:

• Care leavers or looked after children (over 16)
• Overcoming addiction
• Unaccompanied asylum-seeking teenagers
• Experiencing family or relationship breakdown.

Each young person is assigned a skilled key worker who supports them to develop the tools and confidence they need to move on and live independently. The tailored support offered to each young person includes, but is not limited to: 

• Daily living skills 
• Managing finances 
• Building confidence, resilience and self-esteem
• Maintaining health safety and security. 

CMAS does not accept self referral, all prospective residents must be referred by one of the following agencies: 

• Local authorities within and outside Essex
• Healthcare providers within and outside Essex
• Statutory agencies within and outside Essex
• Voluntary organisations working in partnership with local authorities. 

We understand that you may need to speak to us about your referral and are happy to answer any questions. Please contact Sophie in the first instance on 079 6185 8455. 

On admission, an initial assessment will be carried out within the first week of admission, and a placement information pack will be given to help to link a resident with the community and familiarise with the area.

We accept emergency referrals in a crisis situation. If you require this service, contact our emergency number on  079 6185 8455.
