Purpose

Bristol City Council has completed an open
tender for a Housing First Support Service. The decision requested
by this Officer Decision Notice is to approve the award of the
contract.
The aim of this contract is to support those at risk of
homelessness attain secure long-term tenancies within rented
accommodation. There are potential savings through the reduced
requirement to source emergency accommodation (which is high cost)
through the sustainment of Housing First tenancies.

Homelessness Accommodation Programme (SHAP) 2024-28 from the
Department for Levelling Up, Housing
