Housing Support for Young Women

Elpis Centre is a Glasgow-based charity that accommodates and provides support to young women aged 16 – 25 years, mothers and babies – who are homeless, have experience of living in care or are seeking asylum. Up to 9 service users with high to medium needs are housed in the main tenement accommodation in Ruchill – staffed 24 hours per day, 365 days a year by professionally qualified and fully vetted staff. Service users with less complex needs are placed in one of our 9 scatter flats in Ruchill and Maryhill.

Elpis Centre assists young women to prepare for independence through person-centred plans that focus on developing living skills, social skills, and learning and employment opportunities. In addition Elpis maintains a critical focus on health and emotional wellbeing to support young women to maximize opportunities to develop and grow.
