As Streetline is a small project with three properties which are homes for the young people in our care, all of our funding needs are largely domestic reflecting the needs of any family. TULSA covers salaries and basic running costs so all extra funds received (100%) goes directly to the young people or house maintenance.
You will note that the wish lists reflect a period of recession and reduced funding, consequently household maintenance needs were neglected. The young peoples wish list reflect the very normal wants of teenagers all of which help them not to feel different from their peers who live a home. Please see our WISH LIST below:
