two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The key requirement of the Substance and Alcohol Misuse Service is to provide housing related support to individuals in Pembrokeshire who are at risk of homelessness and have been affected by drug and/or alcohol issues. The requirement includes the need for individuals to develop the skills necessary to access and maintain suitable accommodation.

The supported accommodation service provides support to individuals who have required a programme of treatment or support for their substance misuse problem. It provides a stepping stone for those people who are maintaining a drug/alcohol free lifestyle and who require support in other areas of their lives to live independently.

The Floating Support element will be delivered countywide to individuals in the community, usually in their own homes where possible.

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:

Promoting Personal and Community Safety

- Feeling safe

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

- Engaging in education/learning
