Fife’s Short Term Housing Support & Homeless Services Public Social Partnership (PSP) officially came into being on 1st April 2016. The PSP has 12 partners - 11 of these partners work together to deliver homelessness services (Prevention First Services, Short Term Housing Support and Temporary Accommodation) to people throughout Fife who are homeless or threatened with homelessness. Fife Council are also a partner and commission the delivery of the services by the PSP.
