Housing Related Support for Young Single Homeless People Procurement Plan

Decision Maker: Executive Member for Adult Services, Health and Housing

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Executive Member is asked to approve the Procurement Plan for Housing Related Support for young single homeless people.

Decision:

That the Executive Member approved the proposal to tender a remodelled service for accommodation based housing related support service and that the successful bidder provides 75 units. This service will be for 18 – 25 year olds in the borough with eligible support needs, at risk of homelessness including Care Leavers.

Reasons for the decision:

The existing service will cease on 31 August 2017.  We have remodelled the service to meet the housing related support need for young people threatened with homelessness and a pathway for the provision of care leavers.

Alternative options considered:

To not proceed with this remodelled service would result in increased costs to secure residential placements for care leavers therefore this would be the only alternative option.
