Rentstart Extra
The Rentstart Extra project, funded by the National Lottery “Reaching Communities” Fund, was launched in 2018. It allows us to support a client group of individuals with multiple and complex needs in Spelthorne who need more support than our core service can offer. The project adopts a multiagency approach, with the aim of encouraging self-reliance and resilience, so that individuals are able to maintain their tenancies and improve their life opportunities. The project has partnered up with over 20 statutory and non-statutory agencies and seven key partners with the aim of providing a bespoke tailored service based on the needs of the client. Through adopting a holistic approach, the project leverages on the expertise outside of the core service, e.g. mental health or addiction services, to offer the best support possible to the client, so that these individuals are able to succeed with their lives and tenancies to achieve independent living and successfully re-integrate with the wider community.
