Description

Wirral Borough Council invites applications to tender for a contract to deliver a Borough-wide Housing Related Supported Lodgings Service for a minimum of thirty (30) Young People aged 16 - 21 years who are vulnerable and at risk of becoming homeless.

This service is intended to specifically target those young people who would, for various reasons, be considered too vulnerable to sustain a placement in a supported accommodation project and who may require a high level of support.

The aim of the service is to reduce the number of young people aged 16 -21 becoming homeless in Wirral, and to help young people that are already homeless, access appropriate accommodation and services. The Council's vision is to support young people to move towards independence; whether this is to permanent accommodation or to return home, as appropriate to the individual needs of the young person.
