Purpose

Adult
Social Care is proposing to cease the on-site support provided at
three Supported Accommodation services for adults with mental
health needs and two Supported Accommodation services for adults
with additional support needs who are homeless or at risk of
homelessness. The on-site support helps residents to develop
independent living and tenancy sustainment skills, and to access
training, qualifications and employment, supporting people to move
on to independent living. The proposal is one of a number that the
department has been consulting on to help close the Council’s
funding gap. The results of the consultation for Supported
Accommodation will be shared and Cabinet will make a decision on
whether the proposal goes ahead or not.
