GIPSIL is an initiative developed from within the community of Gipton as response to the growing number of young people and single parents caught in the trap of an insecure and transient lifestyle.  Underpinning all our work is the belief that Supported Housing is crucial to the success of young homeless people.

GIPSIL is a community-based project which has been providing furnished supported tenancies to young people on the Gipton estate since 1993. We currently have flats for young single people, houses for single parent families, a new supported housing scheme for up to six care leavers who need help in tenancies, and an education worker who helps young people get into college, training and employment. We hope to employ a specialist drugs worker in the near future.

We provide support to young people and families on a range of issues which affect their day-to-day lives. If we are unable to provide specialist help that's needed we'll make sure that we put a young person in touch with someone who can.
