"Housing Link have always looked at the whole picture; they helped me find and keep my own tenancy and sorted out my right to benefits. My project worker helped me when I was struggling to live on my own, and put me in touch with local drop in services and art courses" |
How the service works
We place great emphasis on building a trusting and consistent relationship with the people we work with. We will visit you on a regular basis, either in your home or within the community to help you resolve any housing difficulties. We also work closely with other organisations in the local area.
Following an assessment to confirm your eligibility for our support, one of our project workers will develop an action plan with you based on your unique needs. Focusing on the needs identified in your action plan, our one-to-one support package can include help in the following areas:
- Maintaining your tenancy
- Arranging repairs and maintenance
- Support and access to mediation if you are experiencing difficulties with neighbours
- Budgeting and applying for benefits
- Access to employment/college/voluntary work
- Attending important appointments
In addition to our one-to-one support, we also run a weekly tenancy support group. This is a good opportunity for clients to meet one another whilst sharing skills and experiences.
