The Forest Community Project is a service provided by ELMS in Waltham Forest. It has continually evolved its services to reflect the modern needs of people with mental health problems.
The project provides dispersed social housing in ordinary accommodation. Our residents are local people who have lived in or who have strong links with the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
Forest Community Project is comprised of ordinary residential terraced houses in the residential areas of Leyton, Leytonstone and Walthamstow. It offers Service Users the chance to live in ordinary housing with support designed to meet their individual needs. There are 6 houses in all, all of which are situated within 2 miles of ELMS` Offices. Four houses have three bedrooms and two have four.
Our staff have a wide range of professional and vocational qualifications. The project is staffed by 3 Client support Workers, A Pathway Officer, 6 Care Workers and a Homemaker. All of our workers follow an induction programme when first employed and undertake continuing in-service training relevant to the needs of Service Users.
