The principal objectives of the contract are to;

  • To establish a single service provider contract to deliver an outreach support model providing person-centred Housing Support to people aged 26 and over, living in temporary or permanent housing in the community who are due to be discharged from an institution where there is a risk of homelessness and people who are sleeping rough.

People receiving support will leave the service with improved capacity to manage their own accommodation, health, safety, security, social and economic wellbeing and employment related issues.

Where homelessness cannot be prevented, work with people and partner agencies to achieve a positive housing outcome and provide education and training to build a person’s capacity in identified areas to promote tenancy sustainment and prevent repeat homelessness from occurring.
  • Support people to maximise resources when furnishing their home to assist them to create a homely environment.
  • Improve access to, and sustainment of tenancy levels within the private rented sector.
