The House Project Programme (HPP) brings young people together and provides a range of opportunities and experiences to build relationships and community, manage their first home and have a pathway in to education, employment or training. Young people follow HPP after they have successfully secured a place on their Local House Project. HPP is underpinned by the ORCHIDS framework and takes a social pedagogical approach whereby staff work alongside young people to help them meet their potential.
The House Project Journey
Young people get access to a web-based programme where they can upload pictures, documents, videos, notes and reflections throughout their time on the House Project. This enables them to showcase their achievements and capture their journey as well as providing the opportunity for young people to find out what they are good at and build upon their existing strengths and interests.

My House Project Journey
What does it look like?
HPP consists of sections that young people will work through with the support of LHP staff. It follows a group-work approach to enable young people to build connections, support one another and be part of a community. Young people can choose how they wish to capture their journey throughout the Programme; whilst some young people may favour notes and reflections, young people can also upload pictures, documents and videos.
Achievements
As well as enhancing their development and preparing them for interdependence, young people who successfully complete each section of the programme will receive certificates under the AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS) and the SQA Customised Award Scheme!
What next?
Young people accessing HPP are classified as being in Education, Training or Employment (ETE) as it serves as a springboard for young people not already in ETE to return to education, to gain more formal qualifications, or as proof of their skills and commitment to a future employee.
