About the service
The Transition & Resettlement Service supports people to transition and successfully settle into independent accommodation.
The service is funded by Brighton & Hove City Council and forms part of the Next Steps Strategy, to help ensure some of the most vulnerable people in society continue to have a roof over their heads and are helped into long term accommodation.
The service is available to adults who are transitioning from rough sleeping/homelessness, mental health supported accommodation, emergency accommodation or former clients who are struggling to live independently and sustain a tenancy.
How the service works
The service is delivered across three phases of support using a goal orientated, flexible and trauma informed approach:
- Transition: Planning and preparing for the move and securing a tenancy offer
- Resettlement: Support with the move and to settle into the new home
- Sustainment: Thriving within the new home and retaining the tenancy
Support also focusses on areas such as:
- Health and wellbeing
- Social connections
- Skills and occupation
- Culture and community
