Housing Intervention Service
Living in private rented, owned or housing association property. The Housing Intervention Service provides intensive tenancy support packages for the most vulnerable and complex clients at risk of homelessness. Staff have experience of working with a range of clients groups including:
- Mental Health
- Domestic abuse and violence
- Drug and alcohol problems
- Adult literacy problems
- Gypsies and Travellers
- Refugees and Asylum Seekers
- HIV/Aids
- Offenders and ex offenders
Support includes setting up utilities, debt benefits support, understanding tenancy rights and responsibilities, accessing other services, multi agency case working, personal and family safety. We provide a short term (up to 3 months) crisis-intervention service to prevent homelessness and enable clients to develop the skills to live independently and sustain suitable accommodation. We take an assertive outreach approach seeing clients in their own home where appropriate and supporting them to access community services and activities. The service is part of the Housing and Community Services and is funded by Supporting People.
