The Neighbourhood Support team work with tenants who are having difficulty meeting their tenancy conditions and are in danger of losing their tenancy with anti social behaviour being the main referral criteria. We also support tenants who face court action and eviction due to rent arrears:

• assist tenants to identify the root problem and create a Support Agreement to address any relevant issues.
• give support and advice on meeting their tenancy conditions.
• give support and advice on making positive contact with the neighbours and the local community.
• give support and advice in contacting and dealing with other agencies and services.
• assist to develop skills in managing in the home and living in the neighbourhood.
• assist to promote independence by the end of the Support Agreement.
