Description

The service is aimed at providing easily accessible, independent housing advice and assistance to those who are homeless or threatened with homelessness. Independent advice should be targeted at those who are either homeless or potentially homeless and who have already sought or received advice and assistance from the mainstream housing agencies. Queries relating to the prevention of homelessness should also be afforded priority by the service.

Total Quantity or Scope

Inverclyde Council operates a Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) together with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The Housing Scotland Act 2001 confers the duty on local authorities to provide a comprehensive housing advice and assistance service which may assist a homeless person or assist in the prevention of homelessness, free of charge for any person in the authority’s area. Therefore, Inverclyde Council is seeking a Provider to provide a Housing Information and Advice Service.
