Floating Housing Support ...

A culturally sensitive floating support service is available to our own tenants and residents of other housing schemes who may be experiencing difficulties in maintaining their own tenancy. Support is provided to enable tenants gain the skills required to maintain their independence without putting their home at risk

The aim of our floating support services is:

To provide individuals, who may need additional help in maintaining their housing situation, with appropriate support to maintain an independent lifestyle in a culturally sensitive manner

The services are housing related and generally run from a couple of months up to two years. The level of support clients receive will vary depending on their needs. The service is extremely flexible in this way and can compliment other support packages that clients may have

The service is funded through Supporting People grant, which is paid directly to us and so clients do not need to worry about the payments

The service offers a range of support for up to 2 years, including:

• Access to housing and tenancy support
  
• Debt & money management, rent arrears & benefits
  
• Neighbourhood issues
  
• Mental health support and advice
  
• Drug or alcohol misuse
  
• Education, training & employment
  
• Information on local community & cultural services

Individuals can be referred to the service or you can apply yourself. Everyone who is eligible will be interviewed and an assessment is made as to the priority of need. Higher priorities may be taken onto the service immediately. Lower priorities may have to go on a waiting list but we will also signpost to alternative services that may be able to assist

If you think you would benefit from our service, know of someone who might need our help, or have any further queries, please contact our support team
