Tender: Home At Last Team (HALT) – Housing Support Service for People with Substance Use Issues

About

This commission is seeking a provider to deliver a Housing Support Service as part of the Home At Last Team (HALT) to support people with substance use issues into structured treatment and long-term sustainable accommodation. The primary objective is to improve long-term recovery outcomes by integrating targeted housing support into the wider recovery framework, building on the HALT project that commenced in 2021 and the 10-year Drug Strategy which allocated £53m to address housing instabilities. The service will focus on delivering stable housing to remove barriers to treatment completion, reducing the number of rough sleepers with substance use issues who are not engaged in structured treatment, preventing those in treatment who are at risk of homelessness due to substance use from becoming homeless, and providing professional and peer support to this cohort to contribute to increasing treatment capacity.
