As part of our HMO provision we are obligated to support our vulnerable tenants. The nature of the support provided to them is of housing related support. When we receive a referral and that is accepted a bespoke support plan is created for the individual in question using an initail needs assessment to work out which areas he or she would require support in.
The Support Plan is made up of five main aspects namely:
Achieve Economic Wellbeing – includes areas like assessing benefits, help with budgeting, creating a debt repayment plan, opening a savings account, etc
