West Sussex Signpost

Read the Signpost information leaflet here                   

The Signpost service offers FREE advice, information and support for ANY housing related issue, including housing crisis and homelessness.

We work in partnership with local authorities and are funded by West Sussex Supporting People to prevent homelessness and reduce the emotional and financial costs involved.

Signpost is for you if:

• you are in unsuitable accommodation, at risk of losing your home or are already homeless
• you live in Worthing/Adur, Horsham or Mid Sussex
• you are aged over 16
• you need time limited support.

Signpost helps you with:

• advice on your housing options/choices
• understanding your tenancy or mortgage responsibilities
• settling into a new home and setting up your gas, electric and water supply
• getting in touch with other services and referrals to specialist agencies
• looking at your income and outgoings and addressing any debts you may have.

Once you contact us we will either;

• give you advice by telephone;
• meet with you once to help you with a particular issue, or
• provide time limited Outreach support from a named worker.

Feedback from people who have used our service

"Thank you so much, your help is much needed and appreciated. I used to feel silly and embarassed when it came to asking questions and admitting things. Both Maggie and Andrea have never made me feel this was necessary and both have been brilliant support. Thank you. My rent arrears are now at £680 - they were £2,500 - that's thanks to you."

"I think the service Signpost provides is invaluable from my personal experience. I felt scared and confused until Signpost stepped in and helped me to sort everything out. I have had follow up calls also, letting me know that the support is still there if needed. Thank you so much."

"I have found the services have been for me a life-line. I am so grateful to have been given this help to allow me to start a new life. Thank you so very much."
