Due to funding cuts, our East Sussex Floating Support Service has implemented new pathways for referring into this service, as well as new eligibility criteria.
The East Sussex Floating Support Service provides short-term housing-related floating support across East Sussex for vulnerable people, aged 16+, who require support to live independently.
Three referral pathways are now in place for the service:
Pathway 1: via Health and Social Care Connect (HSCC)
Pathway 2: via Children’s Services
Pathway 3: via District and Borough Housing teams
Each pathway has its own distinct eligibility criteria which can be found in full on the East Sussex Floating Support Service webpage here.
Residents aged 60 and over can self-refer to the service or be referred by family or friends. The Pathway 1 criteria will be used to determine eligibility for the service. You can find out more about this service in our Information leaflet for those over 60.
Under 60s will no long be able to refer themselves back into the service if they have previously received support from us and will have to go through one of the above pathways.
For more information about referrals and/or East Sussex Floating Support in general, please visit the ESFSS webpage. You can also contact us via email ([email protected]) or phone 01273 929394 for general enquiries.
