Description

Provision 1 - Rough Sleep Prevention Outreach Service

The Homeless Reduction Act has increased the responsibilities of Local Authorities in relation to service provision for homelessness. This has seen increased demand for Council services and for wider commissioned and community provision. Our model for homeless and accommodation support services for adults and young people is focused on the principles of prevention, independence, resilience and recovery, strengthening community connections and transforming models of support to divert people away from inappropriate use of and dependence on health and social care services.
To succeed we need the Provider to work in partnership with the Council and to work effectively with commissioned and non-commissioned Providers and local communities.
Outreach will be undertaken seven days a week. The outreach will be both proactive and assertive and take place during daytime, evenings and at weekends across the borough, to engage rough sleepers in the homelessness service. Specific focus will be given to Wigan and Leigh town centres however the service will need to respond to reports outside of these locations.
