Supported Tenancies
If you're moving to a new council home - or you're a tenant already and not coping well on your own - we can give you a helping hand.
For information email: housing.management@pendle.gov.uk
Our Tenancy Support Service can give you the help you need to live independently. We can help you:
- set up and run your home well: turning on gas; electricity and water; finding furniture; sorting out rent and bills; managing money and claiming benefits; insurance and security; being a good tenant;
- make the most of your neighbourhood: finding shops and services; looking for jobs, training or courses; making use of leisure time;
- get in touch with extra help: talking about problems; getting expert advice on things like debt, mental health, drugs or alcohol; contacting social services or other organisations
What do you get?
You'll get your own Tenancy Support Officer who will talk through any problems with you. They will agree a 'support plan' that tells you what to expect and how often they will visit.
Our aim is to help you get on your feet and live independently - so, after a time, you won't need us any more! But you can always come back if you need help in the future. There is a charge for this service but this charge is also eligible for Housing Benefit.
