The services, which operate in Southend, Thames Gateway, Havering and Thurrock, provide short-term support services to vulnerable peoeple, regardless of their tenure, who maybe experiencing problems maintaining their accommodation or have health or other issues which affect their ability to cope with day-to-day living.

Barbara Horne, Floating Support Operations Manager, said: "I am very proud of what has been achieved and this is testament to the commitment of all involved."
