Aim/Purpose:

The Floating Housing Support Service provides tailored, person‑centred housing support to people across Perth and Kinross who need help to secure, transition into or sustain a tenancy. The service is designed to empower individuals to live independently in their own homes by offering flexible support that focuses on building the skills, confidence and stability required to successfully manage a tenancy. Whether someone is moving on from temporary or institutional accommodation, taking on their first tenancy or struggling to maintain their current home, the service offers practical and motivational support to promote housing sustainability. This includes help with setting up and managing a tenancy, establishing routines for daily living, maximising income and budgeting, improving health and wellbeing and connecting individuals with local community resources. Support is prioritised for people who may be at risk of homelessness or tenancy breakdown, including those with mental health concerns, chaotic or vulnerable lifestyles, a history of homelessness, or other complex needs. By working alongside individuals at their own pace, the Floating Housing Support Service aims to prevent crisis, reduce the need for emergency interventions, and promote long‑term independence. Floating Housing Support places the individual at the centre – ensuring support is shaped around their goals, their choices, and their circumstances, helping them achieve secure, confident and sustainable living within their community.
