## Notice

The Floating Support Service offers short term support to families and adult residents of Southend experiencing a range of problems that impact on their housing, health and/or financial well-being. The primary remit for the service is the prevention of homelessness. The service ranges from one-off information, advice, guidance, and signposting, to short term interventions up to six weeks and extended support up to six months.
