    The London Borough of Hackney is seeking to commission a provider to deliver Hackney’s Housing First Programme for Young People aged 18-25. This programme is funded through a grant from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities for the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme. London more…Borough of Hackney has secured a further 2 years grant funding for this service from April 1st 2027 to March 2029. Ahead of this procurement, a virtual Market Engagement session will be held on Tuesday 29th September 2026 1:00-2:30pm on the Google Meets Platform. Housing First is a global strategy that provides permanent housing without preconditions to people experiencing homelessness. Successfully utilised across the UK and internationally, it supports society’s most vulnerable individuals with complex and multiple needs to live in their own homes. The model pairs a stable, independent home with intensive, personalised support. As a choice-led approach, Housing First respects individual autonomy and self-determination, whilst ensuring people are rapidly rehoused in instances of housing loss. The London Borough of Hackney is seeking to commission a provider with extensive experience in delivering Housing First models across the UK. We are particularly keen to receive bids from organisations that have successfully implemented Housing First for Youth models.
