Description

Following a successful bid to the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) fund
Dorset Council was awarded funding to deliver a 6 bed 'complex women's unit, with support' -
breakdown below:

Revenue - Yr1 - £8,807.50, Yr2 - £211,375, Yr3 - £211,375, Yr4 - £202,567.50.

The Capital grant awarded has allowed the Council to purchase a suitable 6-bedroom unit
which will provide accommodation for female rough sleepers. The acquisition of the
accommodation is outside of the procurement process.

The revenue funding is awarded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
(DLUHC) and the aim of the funding is to support rough sleepers into settled accommodation
and support the government's aim to eliminate rough sleeping by the end of the current
Parliament.

Revenue funding allocated to this project is made up of £584,125 from the SHAP revenue
support grant and £50,000 from the Homelessness Prevention Grant (HPG). This provides the
Council with a total of £634,125 to deliver support for a 3-year period. There is a need to
procure a bespoke support service for women because the Council does not have a service of
this type in Dorset.

Funding is high profile and is subject to monthly meetings with advisors from DLUHC. Progress
will also be monitored on a quarterly basis through Key Performance Indicators set by DLUHC.

This was a Further Competition via Lot 19 of the Dorset Care, Support, Housing and
Community Safety Framework. Lot 19 of the Framework is 'Living Well (C) - Housing related
support services.'
