Title:
Provision of Single Homelessness Short Term Supported Accommodation Service
Description:
Halton Borough Council is looking to commission a Short-term Supported Accommodation service for Single Homeless people. The Service will accommodate and support single homeless persons who have housing support needs, aged 18 years and over.
The Service will provide supported accommodation for up to twelve months, during which time the Provider will support individuals to develop capacity, self-esteem and life skills, to break the cycle that has led to homelessness and enable people to move on into independent, settled accommodation.
The ethos of the Service is to focus on what matters most to each individual, empowering them to build better lives on their own terms, and helping them to achieve the personal change necessary to break the cycle that has led to them becoming homeless.
Approximately 300 – 350 referrals are received into the Service annually. The average length of stay is typically 168 days; however, some individuals will require a longer period of support to move-on into independent accommodation.
The Service will be delivered from two sites across the borough of Halton, with accommodation at Brennan Lodge in Widnes and Halton Lodge in Runcorn.
Brennan Lodge, Widnes
Brennan Lodge provides 39 units of accommodation; 36 self-contained units and 3 units with access to shared kitchen facilities. The 3 units with access to shared kitchen and bathroom facilities provide dedicated provision for Rough Sleepers.
The building is owned by Halton Housing and is to be managed by the Service Provider under a Housing Management Agreement. A copy of the draft Housing Management Agreement is attached at Appendix 1.
Halton Lodge, Runcorn
Halton Lodge provides 68 units of self-contained accommodation. Of which, 6 units of accommodation provide dedicated provision for Rough Sleepers, comprising of 4 units for males and 2 units for females, all with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities.
