Supported Tenancies

If you're moving to a new council home - or you're a tenant already and not coping well on your own - we can give you a helping hand.

Our Housing Support Team can give you the help you need to live independently.

We can help you:

  • set up and run your home well: turning on gas; electricity and water; finding furniture; sorting out rent and bills; managing money and claiming benefits; insurance and security; being a good tenant;
  • make the most of your neighbourhood: finding shops and services; looking for jobs, training or courses; making use of leisure time;
  • get in touch with extra help: talking about problems; getting expert advice on things like debt, mental health, drugs or alcohol; contacting social services or other organisations

What do you get?

You'll get your own support worker who'll talk through any problems with you. They'll agree a 'support plan' that tells you what to expect and how often they'll visit.

Our aim is to help you get on your feet and live independently - so, after a time, you won't need us any more! But you can always come back if you need help in the future.
