The Fife Voices Housing Advocacy project has been funded through grants from the Scottish Government Homelessness Prevention Fund and is being administered by the Fife Housing Association Alliance, a partnership between Kingdom Housing Association, Fife Housing Group, Ore Valley Housing Association and Glen Housing Association.
The project will provide advocacy for vulnerable tenants of the participating housing associations to assist them in accessing key services and supports, help promote tenancy sustainability and to break the cycle of homelessness.
Included in the service-
- Benefits
- Council Tax
- Budgeting/ Debt
- Welfare/ Crisis Support
- Access to grants
- Bills and utilities
- Correspondence support
- Assistance with gas and electricity issues
The Fife Voices Housing Advocacy team will work with current and new tenants of the partner landlords to help them access essential support services, claim grants or benefits and assist service users to achieve personal goals in areas like health, employment and training.
The project is a positive example of the continued collaborative working between the partner Housing Associations and will help to deliver a meaningful contribution to wider strategic efforts to reduce homelessness in Fife. The Fife Voices Project is a welcome addition to the services available to new and existing tenants of the Fife Housing Association Alliance.
The Fife Voices Project is a real positive step during these uncertain times and gives positivity to the tenants that make use of the service.
Those looking to access the service can get in touch with their housing provider or contact the team directly by email at fifevoices@kha.scot or by calling 01592 632 517 or 01592 632 597.
