Provision of support at Oasis House

Descriptions

West Northamptonshire Council are undertaking a competitive procurement process to commission a Support Provider to continue to deliver specialist support to individuals with multiple and complex needs with a history of rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping, who are accommodated at Oasis House, Northampton. The property is a fully occupied building within the commissioned supported accommodation pathway providing 59 residential units made up of 48 one-bed studio flats, and an additional 11 one-bedroom units with ensuites as well as ancillary common areas. The scheme will provide a 'preventative' service and work in partnership with WNC and its partners to accommodate people with immediate housing and support needs, preventing rough sleeping, and assisting rough sleepers in transitioning to independent living. It will also offer off-the-street rapid response beds for an initial assessment period within en-suite rooms to identify the housing and support needs of service users based on their assessed needs and risks. The goal is to minimise returns to homelessness, promote independence, prevent social exclusion, support individuals with substance misuse issues, and operate within a psychologically informed environment.
