Outreach support is a free, short-term service to residents aged 16-24 in the borough who are having difficulties managing their home. 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?

You may need support for different reasons:

• moving into new or unsupported accommodation
• facing difficulties in your accommodation that may lead to homelessness
• leaving hospital, prison or care and need support to live independently

We may be able to support you to:

• reduce the need for crisis and emergency interventions
• remain in your current accommodation or to find alternative accommodation
• access physical and mental health services and live a healthy lifestyle
• move from temporary accommodation into more settled accommodation
• access education, training and employment opportunities
• minimise substance abuse and the harm it causes
• reduce offending behaviour
