Our Floating Support service helps people across the region. It covers all of the Northern, Southern and Belfast Trust areas. In the South-Eastern Trust area the service is available in Lisburn and Greater Lisburn. It is also available in the Northern Sector of the Western Trust.

This service will help anyone aged 18+ (no upper age limit). Service users receive ‘housing related support’, enabling them to develop independent living skills to maintain their tenancy and prevent homelessness.

The type of support you would receive includes:

·       Support to ensure service users are in receipt of all benefit entitlements

·       Budget/Debt Management

·       Accessing social/recreational activities

·       Adaptations and repairs

·       Tenancy rights/responsibilities and disputes

·       Home safety

·       Home management skills

·       Access to health/medical facilities

 

The Regional FS Scheme is a short-term funded service, meaning service users may receive support from a few weeks, up to a maximum of two years. 

How do I Apply?

The service can be accessed through referral from the following:

• Allied professionals from the Health and Social Care Trusts
• The Northern Ireland Housing Executive
• Housing Associations
• GP Practices
• other voluntary/community-based bodies
• Individuals needing ‘housing related’ support may also self-refer.
