Intensive Rough Sleeper Support Service

Who can benefit from our service?

The service is dedicated to responding to vulnerable individuals who require high quality structured support to transition from a chaotic street lifestyle to sustaining stable accommodation independently.

What does our HRS Framework Service offer?

The service offers a high-quality structured programme of support to individuals that have been assessed or prioritised by the Local Authority as requiring a placement to relieve street homelessness.
The service is primarily focussed on relieving street homelessness through provision of accommodation followed by the provision of an intensive housing related support package tailored to each individual to work towards securing and sustaining more stable accommodation.

Support can include advice, advocacy and liaison, help and advice on money management, tenancy management, support with accessing employment, education or training, support in managing health needs or substance misuse or alcohol misuse or support to increase social networks and engagement in local communities.

The service works closely with the Homelessness Prevention Service, Rough Sleeper Initiative partners and other statutory and non-statutory organisations, agencies and groups to ensure the effective delivery of wider partnership support, safety planning and positive outcomes for individuals.
