Housing and homelessness advice
We provide housing and homelessness advice for local authorities and the third sector
Encompass delivers a responsive front line service to homeless households to determine what statutory duty may be owed under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.
We deliver an in-depth assessment interview, provide housing information and advice, and produce a personalised housing plan. Our approach is to achieve positive outcomes while supporting individuals to make their own decisions.
Our Housing Advisors have in-depth knowledge on housing options and recognise risk in order to maintain personal safety.
Our services operate in accordance with the Equality Act 2010; providing the right response to protected characteristics.
Temporary accommodation
We manage a portfolio of over 1,000 properties providing temporary accommodation to households while waiting for Council housing. We are always seeking new properties e.g. 2 bed, 3 bed, 4 bed in order to meet demand and provide cash incentives for a new property introduction. We offer a full property management service for any landlord with agreements from 3 to 5 years providing guaranteed rent, full property management and property return with fair wear and tear.
