ESCC - AW - The East Sussex County Council Approved List for Supported Accommodation (including Housing Support Services) for Homeless Adults and Young People in East Sussex

Descriptions

Please note that the contract start date is not 15 August 2025, and call-off contracts can start from 01 September 2020. This error is deliberate as the system does not allow a contract start date prior to the date information can be requested/applications received by, however this mandatory field criteria does not suit the Approved List set up, hence the clarification here. The aim of this service is to underpin the strategic priorities of East Sussex County Council's Adult Social Care and Children's Services Departments, and local Health and Housing partners, to provide a flexible, outcomes-focussed on-site housing support service that: (i) prevents a wide range of crisis situations including homelessness; (ii) supports Clients to stay safe, including their mental and physical wellbeing, and better manage their use of substances and complex needs; (iii) builds resilience, in part by taking an asset-based approach to personal development that enables employment and future independent living; (iv) actively supports healthy living and well-being; (v) actively promotes self-care and avoids hospital or accommodation-based care or use of the Criminal Justice System; and (vi) proactively supports Clients to regain independence, maximising their capacity to live independently, and to move on with specialist support to prevent future crises.
