The Housing Support Service aims to provide a high quality housing support service for vulnerable people who require ongoing support in order to maintain an existing Council property or successfully access and set up new accommodation.
Leaving home or moving to new accommodation can be an exciting or frightening experience. Making the decision to live independently can be made easier with the right type of support. Very often vulnerable people do not have the housing support that they need.
The Housing Support Service aims to provide a high quality housing support service for vulnerable people who require ongoing support in order to maintain an existing Council property or successfully access and set up new accommodation.
