Doncaster Mental Health Housing Support

We deliver support in a person-centred way by promoting independence, social inclusion and wellbeing. 

The Mental Health Floating Support Service is available for adults with a recognised mental health need. Individuals must also meet the following criteria:

• Be age 18 or above
• Have a need for housing related support
• Be willing to complete a support plan and work together with us and other related agencies

All referrals will be acknowledged within 3 working days and initial assessment carried out within 10 days, subject to receipt of risk information and client availability.

Contact the service directly for a referral form and further information.
