Delivered in clients' homes, community settings, supported housing offices, or other agreed venues, the service operates within a Trauma-Informed Care framework.

Key support tasks include: • Signposting and support to access health, mental health, and legal services • Support with harassment, anti-social behaviour, domestic violence, and related issues • Liaison and advocacy for statutory mental health services • Comprehensive, co-produced risk assessments and holistic, person-centred support plans • Support for financial wellbeing, debt management, benefit claims, and tenancy maintenance • Move-on support to set up tenancies or prevent Homeless Pathway use • Information and support to Homeless Pathway lead workers for managing mental health crises The service addresses critical needs, with mental health issues affecting 1 in 4 UK adults and contributing to housing instability.
