Housing floating support services

Housing floating support services

Housing floating support is a free, short term service to H&F residents aged 16+ in any type of accommodation who are having difficulties managing their home and staying independent in the community.
Floating support can help you resolve a crisis and improve your skills and confidence to take control of your life and make your own decisions.

What can I get help with?

Depending upon your needs the support can include help:
• managing your money, bills and budget
• settling into a new home
• signposting you to other services
• with reporting repairs, sorting out rent and other tenancy issues
• arranging and attending appointments and meetings
• filling in forms and writing letters
• with developing life skills such as learning to cook and clean
• for you to stay in contact with friends and family
• to engage with leisure, skills, and employment opportunities.

You may need support because you are:

• Moving into new or unsupported accommodation;
• Having difficulties in your current accommodation;
• Leaving hospital, prison or care and need support to live independently;
• Living in temporary accommodation and need support.
