What’s on offer Currently the service supports 15 to 20 people at any one time, signposting them to any agencies that they might need, supporting them to apply for housing, and offering continuing support to make sure that people maintain their tenancies once they have found a home. Who can use the service? This service, which was set up in 1999, is currently funded by Supporting People, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and Hampshire County Council. Referrals come from hospitals, local community mental health teams, the local homeless hostel, local community drug and alcohol teams and from individuals themselves.
