information SERVICE DETAILS

We run a number of services in Edinburgh and Fife for people who currently are, or are at risk of becoming homeless.

By homeless, we mean not having a home. People don't have to be living on the streets to be homeless - even if they have a roof over their head, they can still be without a home. This may be because they don't have any rights to stay where they live or because their home is unsuitable for them.

Young Persons Service - Visiting Support...

The Visiting Housing Support Service delivers support to vulnerable young people across Edinburgh.

The service provides flexible, person-centred and responsive support to young people between the ages of 16 and 25.

What do we do

The aim of the service is help service users establish and maintain a tenancy, strengthen social and family relationships and assist them back into education or employment.

The housing support service provides visiting support which is person centred, flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the individual service user.
