Access to independent housing
The Aim:
To encourage and support people in contact with Community Mental Health Teams in Oxfordshire to:
- Access Choice based lettings
- Apply to district council rent deposit schemes
- Access suitable private rented housing
Why a Housing Pathway Project?
Supported housing services will have an increased focus on recovery, move on and independence.
There will also be less units of accommodation-based supported housing, so increased need to use all housing options such as private rented accommodation.
How will support be offered?
- A housing pathway pack explaining the process around accessing social housing tenancies, rent deposit schemes and private rented accommodation in Oxfordshire.
- Advice sessions regarding independent housing options to service users and staff in CMHTs, wards and supported housing
- Offering service users practical support with the processes
- Building up a team of peer volunteers who, using their own move-on experience, can offer expert support to service users
- Creating good links with private landlords and with district council housing staff
