Homelessness Services Available at St John's

Floating support is a transitions stage between the 24 hour care offered at accommodation centres and full independent living.

The aims of our floating support service are:

• To promote quality of life, independence and inclusion
• To reduce homelessness and the cost and trauma associated with accommodation breakdown
• To support residents in moving on from all types of temporary accommodation
• To provide flexible support that re-engages vulnerable young people who may not be in contact with other services
• To engage with other agencies to ensure that the individual needs are fully met

For some, floating support will be the guiding hand as they take the first steps from an accommodation centre towards full independence. For others it may be temporary intervention to help sustain a tenancy.
