Community Support Team

The Community Support Team is our new tenancy suport service which offers free, independent, and confidential support to help people stay in their homes. They will work with you to establish what you need to sustain your tenancy. Support can be for a short period to get your new tenancy off to a great start or to deal with a temporary difficulty or for an extended period to help with ongoing concerns. We can also help individuals with longer term support needs with referrals to other specialist support services.
