Welcome

This site introduces you to services that provide housing support throughout Scotland. They assist a wide range of people to manage on a day to day basis within the community, by providing practical help and advice. Housing support services can be provided in someone's own home, or within accommodation like sheltered housing, supported housing, homeless hostels, & refuges.

There are many different kinds of services including adaptations for disabled people, visiting support to help with housework & shopping, resettlement support & community alarms. They are provided for people who really need assistance, such as older people, homeless people, people with physical or learning disabilities, mental health problems, drug & alcohol problems or HIV, refugees, care leavers, and women escaping domestic violence. The site provides full descriptions of the services, what they do, who they are for, and how to get them. Find A Service will select services that might suit you.

Our Library has a range of reading materials that may interest you, and if you come across any jargon you don't understand, look it up in our glossary.

If you need one of the services, your Local Authority might help to pay for it. We explain how this works, and who to speak to.
