Homelessness support being made available in Rutland
Rutland County Council's helping those facing difficulties this winter
With the cold weather upon us and as the cost of living continues to rise, Rutland County Council's reminding us that support is available for residents facing homelessness this winter.
Rutland County Council’s dedicated Housing Options Team and support specialists, P3 are working together across the county to help prevent homelessness and support people to keep their homes.
They can help ensure that anyone who is homeless is provided with safe and secure accommodation and provide support and advice to people who are on the verge of homelessness.
The support's designed to help people in Rutland avoid homelessness. They can also support anyone over the age of 16 with budgeting, housing advice, managing a tenancy, reducing social isolation, support to manage a new home and access to employment, education and training.
Rutland County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Health, Wellbeing and Adult Care, Cllr Samantha Harvey, said:
“Sadly, in the current climate and in the lead up to Christmas, more people are finding themselves in severe financial difficulty or could really benefit from advice and support on how to manage their finances.
“Our Housing Options Team are fantastic and, by working with together with P3 we can really make a difference to those who need of a roof over their heads or need some support in order to avoid becoming homeless.
“We would urge anyone in difficulty not to delay in reaching out for help if they need it.”
