Trent and Dove - Tenancy Sustainment
The tenancy sustainment team, work with anyone who is vulnerable/at risk of losing their home with Trent and Dove- these maybe people who have suffered abuse, individuals with addiction issues, those who suffer mental ill-health, people with physical or learning disabilities, ex-offenders, under 25’s and young parents and those who require move-on accommodation.
The role of the team is to ensure that the vulnerable, disabled and excluded groups are given fair access to housing and that appropriate support is in place to help them maintain their tenancy. We liaise regularly with external agencies to co-ordinate support and work with clients. This also ranges to finding/helping gain employment for our tenants who are seeking work, we do this by getting them ‘work ready’ consisting of CV writing skills, interview techniques, confidence building, IT training and much more.
