Supported Housing
Supported Housing
Some accommodation provided by Accent Nene has support
attached to it. This support provides assistance with life skills
to the residents living there. The support may be short term to
help through a difficult period or might be longer term for older
residents in sheltered accommodation.
Floating support is available to tenants who need help
either starting or maintaining their tenancy. This could be help
with budgeting, life skills, finding jobs, and education. Floating
support workers also help with drug dependency, alcoholism, and
much more.
If you feel you might need support please contact your
housing officer, who will arrange an assessment with an allocated
support worker. Please be advised that support may not always be
available immediately
If you live on one of our sheltered schemes this service
is provided by your scheme manager.
Working in partnership with Huntingdonshire District
Council Accent Nene has a supported housing scheme in
Huntingdonshire. Nene has ten properties scattered through the
district for homeless families.
The council refers homeless families to us, from hostels,
women's refuge centres, prisons, etc. Families are given a short
tenancy of up to two years. We have a dedicated support worker who
helps these families re build their lives, organising furniture,
sorting out utility bills, managing their finances offering
emotional support.
