Tenancy Support Team
The Tenancy Support Team offers additional support and assistance when residents need it most. This free & confidential service is available to you, whether you are a new or existing resident, and is simply here to offer you extra support to maintain and manage your tenancy. Of those helped in the last year, some were supported to set up a tenancy, many helped to access all the benefits available to them, and others were helped to access specialist services such as mental health, drugs and alcohol, and family support services. The team also supports those with previous antisocial behaviour records to change their behaviour and learn how to manage their home and tenancy.
