Housing First Flexible Support

Descriptions

The service will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Pilot Housing First Support and must work cooperatively and collaboratively with the housing provider, Housing Options and Homeless Service and other key partners to provide a holistic service to those accessing the service. The Pilot project will be overseen by a multi-agency Housing First Steering Group and the Service Provider will work with and report to this group. The service provision must adhere and show fidelity to the seven key principles of Housing First: - People have a right to a home; - Flexible support is provided for as long as it is needed; - Housing and support are separated; - Individuals have choice and control; - An active engagement approach is used; - The service is based on people’s strengths, goals and aspirations; - A harm reduction approach is used. The service will be delivered from 1st August 2021 for a period of 2 years
