What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Housing First Flexible Support commission aims to provide a high-quality, pilot housing first support service project to individuals who have been provided with a permanent tenancy through Housing First Programme within the Lower Nithsdale area of Dumfries & Galloway.

The aim of the service will be to reduce repeat homelessness for a small number of service users who have multiple complex needs and struggle to maintain temporary or permanent accommodation.

The support model will be first and foremost a model of support that is relationship based, unconditional and ‘portable’, and crucially, ‘person-led, not system-led’: flexing to deliver what people want or need and not what processes demand.

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.

  • 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 Additional information: Full description and service specification can be viewed in the Invitation to Tender document.
