What we do

Flintshire Housing First provides housing-related support to individuals living in the county of Flintshire by focusing on strengths and goals within a framework of reducing harm, achieving tenancy sustainment, and living independently. The service aims to build relationships with individuals who have a history of disengaging from services, working with these individuals to co-produce support plans that meet their needs. Flintshire Housing First is committed to providing a timely and efficient service which operates in line with our principles of empowerment, self-management and recovery, and ensuring compliance with internal quality standards.

The Flintshire Housing First service will liaise with landlords, statutory bodies, and voluntary agencies to ensure effective support for service users to help meet the complex needs of each client. Staff will be flexible across the service hours and provide an on-call service for out-of-hours provision where necessary.
