Description

The Isle of Wight Council ("the Authority") is inviting organisations with relevant experience to establish a pathway service for single homeless people 16+, including those with no fixed abode/rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping and those threatened with homelessness. This pathway will maximise 'move on' options whilst reducing demand on statutory services.The Authority is seeking to appoint a single provider to deliver this contract, acknowledging that this could be delivered a number of ways; one single provider, prime provider with sub-contracting arrangements or a consortium of providers coming together to deliver the contract.

The service will consist of:

• Rough sleeper outreach offer;
• Supported accommodation;
• Resettlement support offer.

Our aims align with the Governments rough sleeping strategy 2018, which is organised around three core pillars: prevention, intervention and recovery. Prevention focuses on providing timely support before individuals and households become homeless. Intervention focusses on helping people who are already in crisis to get swift, targeted support. Recovery emphasises how we will support people to find a new home quickly and rebuild their lives via a new ''accommodation first'' approach, utilising the principles of housing first models.
