Difficulty in social functioning, lack of social skills or history of transience
Difficulties in social functioning and a lack of social skills can affect the client's ability to sustain alternative housing.
The client may not be able to find a suitable property due to difficulties in social functioning, lack of social skills or a history of transience caused by:
- a lack of necessary confidence and skills
- a lack of knowledge, for example, does not know who to approach to discuss other housing options
- has only ever had a social housing provider as a landlord
- lacks confidence in private sector or distrusts private landlords
- has a history of transience resulting in reluctance of private sector to rent to them
History of transience
Only moves where the client was required to move or had an acceptable reason for moving can be taken into account for the assessment of sustainability.
