Bromley tenancy support service provides tenancy related support to residents of Bromley who need support in maintaining their tenancies or are at risk of losing their tenancy. The service works with singles, couples and families who find themselves in this situation and who need assistance in managing their tenancies. The promotion of independence is paramount in this service and this is achieved through key working and support planning where the service users themselves are in charge of identifying goals and outcomes that they want to achieve with some assistance for the service.
Typically service users will reside in Bromley but occasionally referrals are received from residents who reside outside of the borough having been placed in temporary accommodation by Bromley council.
