Description

The focus of our Supported Accommodation: Homeless and Supported Accommodation Service is to provide short term support and accommodation to those in greatest need. Our model for homeless and accommodation support services for adults and young people is focused on the principles of prevention, independence, resilience and recovery, strengthening community connections and transforming models of support to divert people away from inappropriate use of and dependence on health and social care services. The aims of the service include: • Prevention and reduced rough sleeping and homelessness across the Wigan Borough. • Facilitating the provision of accommodation for rough sleepers and people who are homeless which focuses on recovery and move on to long term sustainable positive outcomes. • Supporting individuals to develop life skills to achieve independent living and thrive within their communities. • Improving the health and wellbeing of residents of the borough. • Reintegrating people with local communities and their ability to access support networks that support sustainable living. • Achievement of regular, successful move on’s for clients, resulting in effective throughput and maximising opportunities for service uptake. • Working in partnership with public and private sector organisations, charities and local communities to ensure a joined up and effective approach to supporting people, achieving move on and longer-term sustainability. The provider will be responsible for sourcing the units of accommodation and for ensuring they comply with all current building safety regulations. We would like to see a mixed range of accommodation settings that supports different types of occupancy and households, such as dispersed accommodation, self-contained, shared accommodation and under one roof schemes.
