About the service
Their Housing Support Service is there to provide housing advice, information, representations, onward referral and holistic support to people who are experiencing mental ill-health or who need help with their mental wellbeing and housing issues.
They work alongside you to develop an individually-tailored package of support that meets your needs, working with you to find the solutions that are right for you.
Their high quality service is flexible and will help you to resolve real-life difficulties and to improve your own independence, quality of life and wellbeing.
