Tenancy Support


How Can We Help?

º
Pic_B_125x125CHAT offers a free outreach service to help people move on with their lives through the provision of specialist and general advice and support.

The service is supported by the CHAT Housing Advice team who provide specialist advice.
Many people experience periods of time when they need a hand with issues such as:

  • Retaining their homes.
  • Making sure all benefits entitlements are applied for.
  • Sorting out money problems.
  • Completing the right forms.
  • Applying for grants & loans.
  • Establishing a new home.
  • Finding appropriate services, such as getting back to work or college.
  • Managing anxieties or addictions.
  • Getting involved with the local community.
  • Dealing with landlords.
  • Support and advice at meetings.

º
Our Tenancy Support staff can offer short and long term, intensive and intermittent support
for up to two years. You can ask for support yourself or be referred to us by another organisation.

Please note: there is usually a waiting list for support which is prioritised according to level of need
and service capacity.
