STEPS
: To provide a short term, floating, housing support service to people aged 65 and over living in Hastings and Rother. The service is to help people to stay living independently. We work with people who own their own homes, renting from a private landlord or housing association or are in temporary accommodation. The range of issues we can help with is varied; we have helped people to:<br />
• Claim welfare benefits <br />
• Change utility suppliers such as gas and electric<br />
• Liaise with landlords over rent arrears and mortgage arrears<br />
• Keep the home safe<br />
• Find more suitable accommodation<br />
• Access local activity groups within the area<br />
STEPS is funded by East Sussex County Council and is a free, confidential service.<br />
