Pathways to Independence (known as P2I) offers housing and advice for young people aged 16-24 across Somerset. It is a jointly commissioned initiative by Somerset County Council, District Councils working with a consortium of provider organisations.
P2I provides a range of solutions and other servcies aimed at meeting current needs and positively reducing future needs. This includes:
There is a P2I Hub in each District area serving as a main access point for young people and will provide advice and information on range of issues and provide assessmnet, co-ordination and support to all those young people who need it.
After a triage process, each young person entering the Pathway will have an integrated and holisitc independence plan agreed with them that reflects their individual needs, their preferences, their strengths and their ambitions. For some young people, their plan may involve the need to access accommodation based services, for many it will not.
