Floating Support
Our Primary Goal
What is Floating Support?
Floating Support is a service that provides housing related support to adults with a range of needs to maintain their own tenancies in the community and to those who are living in homeless temporary accommodation in St. Catherine’s Square.
The service focuses on a range of individuals with multiple and complex needs.
How does it work?
Referrals for the Floating Support service for people who have their own tenancies can be made to Perth & Kinross Council, Supporting People. This can be done on behalf of the person or by the person themselves. This will then be forwarded on to a support agency such as CATH Floating Support who will meet with individuals to discuss their needs and what support can be provided.
