Based out of the OneStopShop, our Floating Support Service provides housing support to people with a diagnosis of an autism spectrum condition by: helping to keep the home safe and secure; encouraging the maintenance of the home; support with budgeting and financial issues; help to become more involved in the local community and local services; and support to have a healthy lifestyle. The service has been developed in partnership by the Housing Executive, the Supporting People Programme, the Western Trust and Autism Initiatives to address the specific housing needs of those with ASC.

Other services include promoting community access through outreach and enhancing communication & social interaction through peer groups.

The age range is 18+ for all services with exception of the children's peer group (8-17).
