What the notice says

Lot 1: Supported housing for men who are homeless, rough sleeping, at risk of rough sleeping or at risk of repeat homelessness, and who require accommodation and housing-related support to obtain, sustain and progress from accommodation. The Service will provide a flexible mix of dispersed and scheme-based accommodation, with trauma-informed, strengths-based support that promotes stability, independence and successful move-on into settled housing. The Service forms part of Sheffield's wider homelessness pathway and supports a planned reduction in reliance on larger hostel-based provision. Lot 2: Supported housing for single people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or rough sleeping, and whose needs are not well met by existing or scheme-based provision. The Service will provide safe, dispersed, single occupancy accommodation with flexible, trauma-informed and inclusive support, helping people build independence and move on successfully into settled housing. Lot 3: The Service will provide safe, suitable accommodation and flexible housing-related support for people experiencing repeated homelessness, severe multiple disadvantage and high housing-related support needs. The service will focus on stabilisation, sustainment of accommodation, access to wider support, independence and move on to settled housing.
