How we support tenants 

The service supports tenants in a range of ways including:

  • providing financial and employment advice and assistance
  • liaising with other agencies to coordinate and manage support provision
  • facilitating access to health and social care services as needed
  • providing a single point of contact for the household

Our commitment to tackling homelessness

We allocate around 35% of our lets to homeless households and, as part of the Riverside Group, have a strong commitment to tackling homelessness.

This dedicated resource helps homeless people not only settle into their tenancies but supports them in building a stable future going forward, preventing them from ending up in a cycle of homelessness.

Award-winning support for families

Our Housing First for Families team won the Housing-Led Approach to Ending Homelessness Award at the Chartered Institute of Housing Scotland Excellence Awards, recognising its success in helping families move on from homelessness through secure housing and personalised support.

By working closely with local partners and putting families at the centre of support, we help reduce time spent in temporary accommodation, improve wellbeing, and create lasting housing stability.

We focus on what matters most to you and your family, providing practical support to help you build a secure future.
