Connecting you with services that can support you back into long-term accommodation.
‘Floating support’ refers to a broad range of support to help people live independently.
Through our services and partnerships with local providers, we can help you access tailored support to continue living independently in your own home.
By offering advice and guidance on everything from housing and employment to personal budgeting and wellbeing, floating support is a type of community support that can help you to maintain your current housing and avoid homelessness. Floating support can help people who may be vulnerably housed, in temporary accommodation or transitioning from settings like hospitals or prisons.
Everyone’s situation is different, and having the right place to stay can make all the difference – especially in a crisis.
Our outreach services are skilled at locating and helping individuals who are visibly homeless on the streets.
Outreach teams focus on providing immediate relief and crisis support to prevent further deterioration of a person’s situation, which could include offering emergency accommodation, support with seeking health checks or regular check-ins until someone is ready to receive support.
We can then work alongside a range of local providers to connect people with short-term accommodation while they wait for more permanent options.
