Description

Bristol City Council is soon to be awarded grant funding from the DLUHC to provide services for those sleeping rough in Bristol. BCC intends to publish the contract opportunities on the 30th June 2022. The 2 services soon to be tendered are a Rough Sleeping Prevention Service and a Higher Needs Floating Support Service.

Rough Sleeping Prevention Service - This service includes a team of support workers and attached dedicated short-term stay accommodation. It will prevent first-time rough sleeping for up to 600 clients per year whose accommodation becomes unsustainable. The service will assess clients, identifying the best prevention approach to avoid people ever sleeping rough including: local reconnection; funded repatriation; supported accommodation; private rented sector accommodation; work with excluders to maintain family and friends living situations.

Higher Needs Floating Support Service - This service will provide trauma-informed support to a caseload of 102 clients in year one, working with 158 people in a full year (including through care to settled housing) and clients in the 19 HMO spaces costed separately. This team will work to support people to maintain their accommodation, engage with specialist services and identify settled accommodation options.

BCC has organised an event to potential providers of these services. At the event information will be given about the services required and the application process.
