Description

There have been several initiatives across Greater Manchester that have supported local delivery of rough sleeping and homeless schemes. One of these initiatives is the creation of the 'A Bed Every Night' (ABEN) provision with each of the ten Contracting Authorities within GM providing a local ABEN service.

Initially developed as an additional service to help meet demand in winter months, ABEN has developed to deliver an essential accommodation option for people experiencing or at risk of rough sleeping, year-round.

The service is designed to provide emergency accommodation and support to those in greatest need, for whom there are no statutory duties towards, and who are either experiencing rough sleeping, or at real and immediate risk of rough sleeping

Wigan Council want to work with a vibrant, committed Provider to deliver our ABEN service and who can co-produce and develop a service that will offer accommodation and support to the Wigan and Leigh homeless cohort. The service will provide 20 individual bed spaces and will be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 365 days a year.
