Provision of Accommodation with Support for Homeless Households (RSAP)

About

Direct Proposal from existing FPS provider to deliver RSAP scheme accommodation with support.

Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) grant funded.

To provide accommodation with support in line with the specification for Lot 2 of the FPS for Housing Related Support, for single people who are homeless and have identified support needs.

This service will be predominantly for single adults with a minimum of 15 units with 1 or 2 bedrooms.

The service will work in line with the Specification for Lot 2 of the Housing Related Support Flexible Purchasing System.

The people supported by this service will be people aged 18 plus who are experiencing homelessness.

However, people under the age of 25 should be considered for the young person's pathway unless this pathway is more suitable in the first instance.

The service will work in a trauma-informed way to help people using the service to identify the root cause of homelessness and identify barriers to move-on, producing an achievable plan of support.

The service will provide a pathway to move on and set out a plan to move on within 6-18 months and will support through the Council's allocation process or sourcing alternative suitable accommodation within the private rented sector or other Social Housing Provision, as suitable.

Time period for service delivery - 1 April 2026 - 31 March 2027 (option to extend for 6 months)
