Description

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is seeking to commission a service for the provision of
supported housing and intensive support for rough sleepers. This service is designed to
improve outcomes for rough sleepers and resolve their homelessness, in line with the Royal
Borough of Greenwich Homelessness Strategy, the Government's Rough Sleeping Strategy
and the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.

The Rough Sleeping 22-25 Pathway consists of three Lots:

Lot 1 Assessment Beds
The service will provide bedspaces for rough sleepers and people at risk of rough sleeping in
Greenwich. These will be utilised as Assessment Beds, where rough sleepers receive rapid
assessments of their support needs and preferred move-on plan. They may also be used at
"step-down" accommodation, for former rough sleepers who are struggling to sustain an
existing tenancy.

Lot 2 Housing First Support Service
The service will provide intensive, floating support to rough sleepers who have been
successfully referred into the Housing First pathway. This will be 10 new clients yearly from
2022-2025.
It will also include provision of support to the 11 existing Housing First clients.

Lot 3 Providing a Navigation Service
The service will provide holistic support to rough sleepers, former-rough sleepers and people
at risk of rough sleeping.
The objectives are:
- End the need to sleep rough and prevent homelessness in Royal Greenwich
- Provide holistic floating support to clients at varying stages of their homelessness journey,
including rough sleepers, people in temporary accommodation and people in
- Promote systematic change and destigmatising of homelessness, addiction and people
with complex needs
- Undertake a rapid and comprehensive assessment of each rough sleeper referred into the
service to identify their support needs and create a suitable support plan
- Provide regular progress reports to the Rough Sleeping Coordinator at RBG
- Attend fortnightly Task & Target Meetings, chaired by the Rough Sleeping Coordinator, for
case discussion, updates and actions
