ESPH NB HBC Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme (SHAP) (ESPH652 JB)

Descriptions

Hastings Borough Council (HBC, the Council) have successfully bid to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) to provide 25 accommodation placements with support through the Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme (SHAP). The grant is for a fixed 3-year period, from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2027. The purpose of the project is to provide accommodation with support in Hastings to adults with histories of sleeping rough who have a high level of support need. Over the next three years this project will work to accommodate and prevent these individuals from returning to rough sleeping by providing them with accommodation and supporting them move on to secure and settled housing. The purpose of the programme is to provide a stable environment from which support staff can implement holistic support plans to provide a secure and sustainable housing pathway in collaboration with housing, health, and other public services. The council is seeking a contractor to deliver the housing management and tenancy support element of the programme, to manage the units and assist the individuals living there, both in their accommodation and within the wider community. Full details are included in the document set.
