Paragraph 3 in the description changed from:

This increases risks of harm to individuals and communities through anti-social behaviour, complex safeguarding concerns, public health matters and violence. It is therefore essential to have responsive, assertive and professional support services which are strategically aligned with the borough's aim to make rough sleeping rare, brief and non-recurrent, as outlined in the new Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024-29.

This paragraph has been updated to the following paragraph instead:

Rough sleeping can have serious consequences for both individuals and communities, including co-occurring mental health and substance use needs, increased vulnerability to harm, health inequalities and comorbidity. It is therefore vital to provide compassionate, responsive, and professional support services that are strategically aligned with the borough's commitment to making rough sleeping rare, brief, and non-recurrent, as set out in the new Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024-29.;

HAC6053

Description

This project aims to provide specialist services to support people rough sleeping in Tower Hamlets. Rough sleeping remains a complex social challenge within Tower Hamlets, across London and indeed nationally.

Available data indicates figures will continue to rise locally, with demand for services meaning people spend longer on the streets.

Rough sleeping can have serious consequences for both individuals and communities, including co-occurring mental health and substance use needs, increased vulnerability to harm, health inequalities and comorbidity. It is therefore vital to provide compassionate, responsive, and professional support services that are strategically aligned with the borough's commitment to making rough sleeping rare, brief, and non-recurrent, as set out in the new Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024-29.;

These services will lead the efforts to drive down rough sleeping and ensure people do not return to the streets once accommodated.

The estimated value of this contract is subject to funding approval.
