Gloucester City Council awarded a contract to People, Potential, Possibilities for the Gloucestershire Entrenched Homeless Social Impact Bond (SIB) service, providing intensive support to a fixed cohort of 110 entrenched rough sleepers and repeat users of homeless services across Gloucestershire.

The service was expected to develop innovative practice such as approximation of 'Housing First' methodology, with caseworkers facilitating engagement and maintaining long-term support along each client's journey from street to accommodation, including through setbacks.

Payments were made by result, with maximum underwritten funding from DCLG of £990,000 over 3.5 years, and outcomes pre-determined by DCLG related to access and sustainment of accommodation, healthcare services, training and employment.

The service provider was required to secure funding from a social investor, with quarterly results leading to quarterly payments from DCLG via the commissioner for the provider to pay the investor.
