floating housing support
Hackney Council is insourcing elements of its floating housing support service to streamline provision.
Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved a decision in September 2026 to bring debt and employment support services in-house, which are key elements of its Floating Support service for residents in housing. This move, according to the council, aims to streamline provision, reduce duplication, and create a more integrated support system for residents. The insourcing is scheduled to be implemented from February 2027.
The insourcing of these services is projected to cost £0.52 million per annum. The council stated that this decision will reduce duplication between services, particularly for those residents with long-term enduring mental illness who rely on this support.
