Advice and Inclusion Support Service 2026

This service supports Chesterfield Borough Council's Housing, Homelessness & Rough Sleeping Strategy 2023-28 by providing advice and support to prevent homelessness. Key service elements include: protecting tenant rights and challenging non-compliant landlord actions in both private and social housing; helping individuals manage debt and prevent future financial difficulties; ensuring compliance with the Renters' Rights Act 2025; and coordinating with CBC's Private Sector Housing Service to enforce landlord responsibilities. The supplier will provide direct tenant advocacy, refer serious landlord breaches to CBC (with tenant consent) for enforcement action, and engage with landlords to remediate identified violations. This role is essential to reducing homelessness and supporting vulnerable residents through integrated housing and financial advice services.
