Referrals to this service are jointly decided by the Street Support Partnership chaired by Safer Leeds. Support teams and Leeds Housing Options along with other partners to identify and allocate referrals into this service.
This ensures that key agencies are working closely together to enable the choices of individuals that maximise successful outcomes and provide the right level of support.
The Street To Tenancy (STT) team are an addition to the Housing Navigators. The support offer differs in that they will work with people who are still sleeping rough and prior to any accommodation offer being made. They will then support them to find and sustain accommodation using the Housing First model. For many people who have not had regular accommodation and have slept rough for long periods the move into a tenancy is difficult. The STT team will provide the extra support needed to help people transition from living on the streets into their own home so that they have safe and secure long term home.
