Description

In 2019 the Department for Levelling Up Homes and Communities (DLUHC) commissioned a programme of three pilots with Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Liverpool City Region and West Midlands Combined to pilot the large-scale delivery of Housing First in England.

The service is for people who have multiple and complex needs who have experienced long term recurrent periods of homelessness and exclusion from services leading to them having difficulties in finding and sustaining suitable accommodation.

The pilot has been delivered for 3 years supporting 444 people to date across the 10 Greater Manchester Local Authorities. This tender is to procure a Housing First service for a further 21 Months ( with a further 12 month extension available) to continue to support those individuals on the pilot including housing those that are yet to secure a permanent offer of accommodation.
