Housing Support Services
Housing support services help people to live as independently as possible in the community. Services can either be provided in your own home, or within specific accommodation like sheltered housing or a hostel for homeless people. Housing support services provide a range of different tasks to help someone manage their home, such as assistance to claim welfare benefits, fill-in forms, manage a household budget, keeping safe and secure, getting help from other specialist services, obtain furniture and furnishings, and help with shopping and housework. The type of support that is provided will aim to meet the specific needs of an individual person.
