What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Camden Rough Sleeping Hub provides mixed gender accommodation for people rough sleeping in Camden.

The current contract is fully funded through a grant from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The primary aim of the RSH is support the reduction of rough sleeping across Camden by supporting moves into stable accommodation, including Camden's Adult Pathway. The service is delivered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The service provides low threshold access to bedspaces so people can move off the streets rapidly.
