Residents are supported on-call by Brennan House staff at all times. A liaison youth support worker meets with each of the residents on a weekly basis based on their needs. Staff are available on site Wednesday from 12 to 8 p.m.
Each youth is required to sign a service agreement that entitles them to have access to staffing for their needs as they may arise. These needs range from life skills such as budgeting, cooking or cleaning to moral or social support.
Youth are responsible for paying their own cable and phone bills. All the other utilities are covered in the rent, which is 30% of their income.
