Full council record
Purpose
The Young People’s Supported
Accommodation (YPSA) service is a group of contracts providing
shared, single and parents accommodation for young people aged 18
– 21 years old. This
decision will ensure that the contracts will be extended and
services under the contracts can continue.
Content
Decision to extend YPSA contracts for 18
months from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2027. The budget for
these services sits with Children’s Social Care.
Reasons for the decision
The contracts are to be extended so that Young
People’s Supported Accommodation (YPSA) services can be
provided to meet Oxfordshire County Council’s legal duty.
Alternative options considered
The alternative would be not to extend the
contracts. This would mean no contracts for services and a failure
to deliver its legal duty. It is not feasible or economic for the
Council to provide these services in-house.
