Hexagon’s floating support service in the London Borough of Greenwich

We aim to support people to live independently in their own homes.

Our floating support service provides housing related support with a range of practical or emotional needs that includes:

• Applying for benefits, managing money and dealing with bills and debts;
• Finding employment training or getting into education;
• Setting up home and developing skills to shop, cook and clean;
• Learning how to maintain a tenancy and get along with the neighbours;
• Taking care of physical and mental health needs;
• Developing relationships and overcoming isolation;
• Accessing other services in the community such as leisure pursuits, faith centres/places of worship or medical services.

Support is provided by a tenancy support officer who will work out with the service user what they want, how it can be achieved and will agree a plan of action which will include the frequency of contact and the likely duration of support. This plan will be reviewed regularly to ensure that the support continues to meet the service user’s individual needs. Floating support is temporary and can be provided for as little as a few weeks to deal with a specific issue or crisis or for a period of up to two years after which it will be ‘floated off’ to someone else.
 
This service is open to anyone aged 16 to 64 in the borough of Greenwich and in need of support to live independently.

We accept referrals to the service from Greenwich Housing Department or Registered Social Landlords and from Social Services.
