Description
The Housing Act 1996 part VII (as amended by the 2002 Homelessness Act) requires all councils to ensure that interim accommodation is available to homeless households seeking assistance under the homeless legislation and, if a statutory homeless duty is accepted, that provision of temporary accommodation must continue until the homeless household is offered either a secure tenancy, or assured tenancy; or an assured short hold tenancy within the private sector.
Addressing the housing needs of people who are homeless is one of the priorities for the city of Wolverhampton. Strengthening the standards and quality of temporary accommodation and housing management service provided to homeless customers through the private sector is needed to support households faced with homelessness.
The purpose of this framework agreement is to supply quality, furnished, temporary accommodation and property management services to a range of households in housing need on behalf of the Council.
The Council will require approximately 180 properties for households at any one time as part of this framework agreement.
