Description

The provision of supported accommodation, to support individuals and families from aged 16 years upwards that are affected by homelessness.
This service will support residents to live well and promote independence for people to take control of their own lives. This service will be a joined up targeted response that is built around the needs of the individual, their friend and family, involving them fully in decision and drawing on their strengths and those of their community. This offer of accommodation and support will allow people to live healthier, happier lives and radically reduce current and future demand for health and care services.
Flexible provision will be in place in the form of accommodation that meets the level of needs of people as they present. This service will positively manage risks to accommodate our most vulnerable and complex individuals and support them on their journey to independence.
Building on the existing supported accommodation model the provider will support people with housing related tasks that focus on building independence.
Adopting a partnership approach the service will support individuals to access wider service provision in the borough that will support the achievement of the asset based action plan. Expected links would involve drug and alcohol services, health services, employments services, criminal justice and accommodation services.
