Transition & Resettlement Service

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

Eligibility

The service is available to adults who require support to transition into an independent tenancy from:

• supported accommodation for homeless adults or young people
