## Description
Expressions of Interest for Housing support for Young People experiencing Extra-Familial Harm 
The London’s Violence Reduction Unit are inviting Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified Providers capable of delivering: 
The co-development of tools for recognising and responding to Extra-Familial Harm (EFH)  in local authority housing assessments, and explore how EFH can be identified in local authority housing needs assessments and responses. Emerging evidence suggests EFH drives housing insecurity, leaving young people unsafe at home and in their communities while struggling to access housing support that meets their needs. In response, local authorities are looking for consistent ways to identify and evidence EFH in housing decision-making. Alongside developing tools, the provider will strengthen capability across housing, safeguarding and community safety to recognise EFH’s housing impacts and support informed, consistent decision-making.
Despite growing recognition, there is no consistent framework for recognising EFH in housing assessment and provision. Local authorities face increasing pressure to assess EFH-related housing needs with finite resources, while services often lack confidence in recognising and assessing EFH within statutory duties. Addressing this gap is essential to support consistent, evidence-informed decisions and timely access to appropriate accommodation, strengthening housing as a safeguarding response that prevents violence, reduces harm, and improves outcomes for young people. 
The provider will use rapid mixed methods and co-production. This research will combine policy analysis, analysis of serious case reviews, stakeholder engagement and qualitative research with local authorities, youth practitioners, and young people. Serious case reviews will examine housing-related risks and safeguarding failures, while qualitative research will identify barriers and opportunities and improve understanding of EFH-related housing risks and needs. Young people and partner organisations will contribute throughout to ensure outputs are credible and practical. 
The following work packages will be delivered: 
Work Package 1 (Months 1–2): Evidence and policy review.
Work Package 2 (Months 2–3): Understanding current practice. Interviews and workshops with housing officers, community safety practitioners, youth workers, housing providers and violence reduction partners will examine practice, barriers to evidencing EFH-related housing needs, and opportunities to strengthen practice.
•Output 1: Work Packages 1 and 2 will produce an evidence and policy gap analysis and theory of change to inform development of the needs assessment tool and response framework.
Work Package 3 (Months 3–5): Co-development of the needs assessment tool and response framework. Young people, practitioners and project partners will participate in co-design activities to identify indicators of EFH relevant to housing decisions, evidence requirements, decisi...
