Tender description

<p>Islington Council invites suitably experienced supported housing providers to an information and market engagement event to find out more about the development of a new project for people experiencing multiple complex needs and rough sleeping. Who should attend? Providers with experience of: &bull; Delivering supported housing for adults with complex needs, including those who are rough sleeping and have co-morbities such as mental health and substance misuse or offending histories of any nature. Background Islington Council has secured capital and revenue funding from the Rough Sleeper Accommodation Programme (a fund managed by the Greater London Authority on behalf of the Ministry of Communities, Housing and Local Government) to purchase a project at No 1 Stacey Street, Islington, N7 7JQ. This project will throughout the course of this year be remodelled and refurbished to create a high spec, psychologically informed environment for people with multiple complex needs who are also experiencing rough sleeping or threatened with homelessness. This will be a high support service and will be staffed accordingly. Our vision is for the scheme to afford Islington residents with multiple complex needs and history of rough sleeping or homelessness greater control over their health and wellbeing. They will be supported and encouraged to address support needs and to live healthier lives. The scheme will proactively promote independence and lead to residents successfully living in their own homes. The scheme will deliver flexible support that is effective, and provide a positive experience within a high quality and homely environment. The scheme will work collaboratively with the commissioned outreach teams, the Islington rough sleeping team, health partners and other voluntary sector agencies.
