Description

Paid employment can be a highly effective and sustainable route out of homelessness and a way of preventing it from occurring in the first place. It can break the repeated cycle of homelessness that many people experience. Whilst gaining employment alone may not completely eradicate homelessness, it is an important factor in addressing the issue. Employment provides individuals with the means to secure or maintain their housing and to become more financially independent, it can offer a pathway to stability and security, as well as health benefits. To achieve this end, the provision of advice and support for those who are homeless or at risk of losing their home, to help them find work or to gain the qualifications, work experience, confidence and job skills needed to secure paid employment, is very important. On this regard, the Council is seeking to award a contract for the provision of Employment Advice Provision for the Homeless.
