Homelessness Prevention High Support Services
Overview
Bristol City Council commissions a range of Preventing Homelessness High Support services. These are accommodation based services that work to prevent future homelessness, and support people to recover from past homelessness. BCC intends to revise the way these services are commissioned, to ensure that the right services are in place to help those with high support needs at the right cost.
Why we are consulting
The main document contains a series of recommendations for commissioning that have arisen from the review. We want to hear people’s views about what we have got right, what could be improved, what risks and what opportunities are presented by the recommendations. If you think that the recommendations will affect you, either negatively or positively, we want to hear from you. Following the consultation period, any feedback will be analysed and the result will inform the way Preventing Homelessness High Support services are commissioned and delivered over the next three years.
What happens next
Following consultation, the feedback will be analysed and the results evaluated. Any amendments will then be made before the recommendations and purchasing plan are heard by Bristol City Council’s Cabinet in March. Following Cabinet approval, there will be a tender process, with new services in place by September/October 2012.
