Who we help

The IMPACT team support people who are faced with homelessness, have mental health problems and have been supported by the MHHT or HHIB team.

We help people who are in their own accommodation to sustain their tenancies and settle into the community through activities. We also signpost to education and employment and arrange longer-term housing support if needed.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for ongoing support if you have completed support from the MHHT or HHIB team, or this support is coming to an end.

We plan the type of support you would like, which inlcudes help with:

• being settled and established in your home and community
• accessing healthcare
• building resilience and self-management skills

• support and advice with mental health, budgeting advice and support to help apply for benefits and grants
• accessing education, day opportunities and volunteering opportunities

How to get support
