Scope
Description
Stacey Street supported accommodation is a service for 30 adults who have a history of homelessness including rough sleeping. Many of the residents have co-occurring physical and mental health needs. The council is looking for a support provider that is experienced in providing housing related support to people with an experience of homelessness.
The objectives of the support at No 1 Stacey Street are:
• To provide housing related support for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage, who have multiple needs, including people with a history of rough sleeping or long-term hidden homelessness.
• To ensure residents’ personal wellbeing, development and safety.
• To work within a recovery approach which emphasises and supports a person's potential for recovery rather than a set outcome.
• To provide personalised support which promotes choice and empowers residents, using interventions shaped collaboratively and based on individual aspirations, as opposed to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
• To reduce incidences of repeated homelessness and/or rough sleeping, by using dynamic risk assessments, effective partnership working, to address unmet support needs and an elastic tolerance to prevent evictions wherever possible.
• To reduce disengagement from services including health services and reliance on acute and emergency provision.
• To have support provided in a relational, nurturing, asset-based and psychologically informed environment.
• To equip residents with the life skills required to sustain an independent tenancy long term, preventing future instances of homelessness.
• To promote resident engagement within the service through co-produced and peer led initiatives, where lived experience is used to positively shape the service and residents feel empowered.
Further details will be provided in the invitation to tender.
The provision of this service meets a number of the Council’s key strategies: the Housing Strategy 2021-2026: A Home For All, Homelessness Prevention and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024 - 2029 and the Islington Together 2030 Plan.
The Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024 – 2029 highlights the unique challenges faced by rough sleepers and those with multiple disadvantages, such as poor physical or mental health, substance misuse, and domestic abuse. The strategy prioritizes the use of available funding to provide secure, supported housing options for former rough sleepers with high support needs, including schemes that offer individual rooms and intensive support to help people move towards independent living.
The Islington Together 2030 plan sets out a commitment to ensuring that by 2030, everyone in Islington has a safe, decent and genuinely affordable place to call home and that residents experiencing, or at risk of homelessness, will feel well cared for and supported throughout. The plan highlights Stacey Street’s use to support rough sleepers in the borough and continuation of acquisition of one bed properties for rough sleepers, or people threatened with homelessness.
