Learning Disabilities Floating Support Service
Swan, working in partnership with the Essex Supporting People team, developed a specialised floating support service for people with learning disabilities. We have recently been reviewed by the Supporting People Team as having an 'A' standard service, which means that Swan provide excellent services.
The aim of the service is to promote independence, assist individuals to sustain their tenancies / accommodation and encourage involvement within the community.
This is a free service and is available throughout Essex (except Southend and Thurrock) and available to residents of Swan, other housing associations, home owners and private landlords. They can be living with friends and family or in temporary accommodation.
