About

Hertfordshire County Council - Adult Care Services awarded a contract to Refuge for the provision of a countywide housing advocacy service to support victims and survivors of domestic abuse who have a housing need, to access safe and suitable accommodation.

The service, based on the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) housing advocacy model, forms part of a Whole Housing Approach and aims to increase housing stability and safety for victims and survivors.

Housing advocates will be co-located with district and borough housing teams, acting as a conduit between victims/survivors and districts, and will also be embedded in local multi-disciplinary teams supporting homeless adults experiencing multiple disadvantages.

The contract period is an initial two years with an option to extend by one year, with an estimated total value of up to GBP 600,000 (approximately £750,000).
