floating support services
Islington Council is implementing a new framework for floating support services to improve commissioning and support for vulnerable residents.
Islington Council's Executive approved a new eight-year flexible framework for supported housing and floating support services in June 2026. This framework aims to provide a more flexible and responsive approach to commissioning these crucial services, creating an approved provider pool. The council intends to commission services based on changing local needs.
The new framework is designed to improve the quality of support for residents with complex needs, including those experiencing mental health challenges, homelessness, trauma, and substance misuse. Floating support services provide flexible, community-based assistance to vulnerable tenants, helping them maintain their independence.
