Our friendly team can offer practical support to people experiencing issues around homelessness. Our support is tailored to your circumstances and is all about preventing homelessness and supporting you to find a new home. Our practical support includes things like advice on your housing rights and responsibilities, assisting rent or mortgage arrears, and mediation. We can also support you with benefits advice and ways of maximising your income. We can support you to apply for grants or funding so that you’re prepared for moving into your new home.
Our team will support you to become empowered to make informed choices about your daily living. We will support you to gain the skills you need to live independently and meaningfully within your local community, with the aim of building your skills to successfully manage your tenancy. We’ll work together with you to discover your strengths, and we’ll support you to set and achieve your goals one step at a time.
Our service is funded by Scottish Borders Council. To access our support, you need to be referred by the Council’s Homelessness Team.
