Support for Vulnerable Tenants

Richmondshire District Council has in partnership with Hambleton District Council, Supporting People and Foundation Housing Association developed a service aimed at providing housing related support for those who might otherwise struggle to sustain their tenancy.  This service is aimed at helping prevent homelessness occurring by identifying and addressing an issue before it becomes unmanageable.  The service is available to all residents of Richmondshire; both council tenants and non council tenants aiming to help those who have accommodation to not lose it. 

For those customers who have been temporarily accommodated as a result of homeless a referral to the Foundation Service will be discussed as part of your ‘move on’ plan.  For those who are experiencing problems who are residing in council property it may be that a referral is made following a discussion with your Estate Manager.  However individuals are able to make direct referrals by completeing the Foundation Referral Form and either sending or emailing the completed referral form to the address given on the form. Information on who can access this service and what the service can do to help you can be found in Homeless Prevention Scheme.

More information on this service and other support services offered by Foundation can be found at www.foundationuk.org
