Housing Support Services

We want to make your life easier and happier

So we've got together with people from other organisations to listen to your problems and help you to solve them by providing services such as:

• help with finding a place to live
• keeping your home
• finding a job.

We work with the Haringey NHS Teaching Primary Care Trust and the London Probation Service to help you to help yourselves.

We offer two types of service:

• short-term
• long-term.

All our short-term services are free. Short-term services are when we give you help for two years or less.

We charge only for long-term services. Details of payment can be found on the Paying for Housing Support Services page.

• some services for people who have mental health needs or learning disabilities
