Description

North Northamptonshire Council is seeking a partner to provide Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO's) to use as temporary accommodation for single homeless people (and childless couples). This will enable prospective housing suppliers to describe the approach, governance, reporting and their experience to the requirements. In North Northamptonshire, demand for homelessness assistance and temporary accommodation has risen sharply and this trend looks set to continue. The Council has seen a notable increase in the number of single people with various vulnerabilities approaching for help and to meet the growing demand for temporary accommodation, the Council has become increasingly reliant on the use of local hotels to 'top up' its supply. The Council's overreliance on local hotels is expensive, complex to manage, and the natural unsuitability of the placement commonly results in placement failure. The Council requires an alternative to its existing hotel use that will promote and safeguard the wellbeing of single homeless people in need of temporary accommodation, encourages placement sustainment, and creates management efficiencies and cost savings.
