two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Housing Support Grant Team is preparing to tender for a Generic Homeless Housing Support Service at our Emergency Accommodation. Prior to the tender for this service, the team is holding an Information Session to discuss the current provision and the future plans for this service.

This service is expected to provide housing related support for people aged 16 and older who are homeless and residing in emergency accommodation.

The Housing Support Grant is an early intervention grant programme to support activity, which prevents people from becoming homeless, stabilises their housing situation, or helps potentially homeless people to find and keep accommodation.

The purpose of the HSG is to prevent homelessness and support people to have the capability, independence, skills and confidence to access and/or maintain a stable and suitable home.

This should be achieved through:

- Services that build the capacity and ability of individuals or households to maintain a home.

- Services that prevent homelessness or the need for an individual to live in an inappropriate institutional setting.

- Providing or enabling access to suitable housing for individuals or households.

- Services that mitigate the impact of homelessness on individuals or households.

- Brokering access to other services for people in housing need.

- Raising awareness and understanding with other professionals and with the wider public, including in schools and colleges.

- Action to enforce legislation intended to secure and maintain access to good quality homes. For example, legislation that places duties on landlords to be registered and regarding the management of tenancies.

Welsh Government developed an Outcomes Framework for services funded through the Housing Support Grant, previously the Supporting

People Programme Grant. Activities carried out by service providers report achievements against the following outcomes:

- Feeling safe

- Contributing to the safety and well-being of themselves and of others

- Managing accommodation

- managing relationships

- Feeling part of the community

- Managing money

- Engaging in education/learning

- Engaged in employment/voluntary work

- Physically healthy

- Mentally healthy

- Leading a healthy and active lifestyle
