567 Supported Accommodation: Homeless and Supported Accommodation Service.

The focus of our Supported Accommodation: Homeless and Supported Accommodation Service is to provide short term support and accommodation to those in greatest need.

Our model for homeless and accommodation support services for adults and young people is focused on the principles of prevention, independence, resilience and recovery, strengthening community connections and transforming models of support to divert people away from inappropriate use of and dependence on health and social care services.

The provider will be responsible for sourcing the units of accommodation and for ensuring they comply with all current building safety regulations.

We would like to see a mixed range of accommodation settings that supports different types of occupancy and households, such as dispersed accommodation, self-contained, shared accommodation and under one roof schemes.
