Homelessness Support
Our support workers interview all our potential clients. Following this you may be registered with us for support, for up to two years.
What do support workers do?
Support can be intense at the beginning of a tenancy. Your support worker will be in contact with you on a weekly basis
- Helping you to get settled in
- Liaising with the utility providers
- Issuing our starter packs (food, bedding, pots & pans, cleaning products etc)
- Making sure that the move into your new home goes as smoothly as possible
You will work with your support worker to develop your support plans. These help you identify your needs and work towards independence in a structured way, focusing on clear goals.
We have regular contact with many other agencies throughout Calderdale and we are able to access the services that they provide should they be relevant to your needs.
We will visit you and see you in your new home and a member of the support team will be on hand at the office should you need to speak to someone.
We have a regular drop-in service - you will have access to SmartMove +, SmartSkills and our volunteer befriending scheme.
The transition from homeless to becoming housed can be a stressful time of your life - with SmartMove's help, the whole experience should be a much simpler process.
