How to access or apply for it:
Getting in touch (making a referral)
If you think you need help from us, you can phone or visit your local social work office, or your local Social Housing Provider for example Glasgow Housing Association, to make a referral. If you prefer, you can ask someone to contact us on your behalf.
You will be asked about the problems you are facing and how you are coping at the moment. It is important you give us as much information as you can. We will use this information to decide if we can help you or if we should refer you to other agencies to get the right support for you.
