## About this tender

Housing First is a housing and support approach that gives people who have experienced homelessness and chronic health, and social care needs a stable home from which to rebuild their lives; provides intensive, person-centered, holistic support that is open-ended; and places no conditions on individuals; however, they should desire to have a tenancy.

Housing First is based on the concept that rough sleepers should be offered a stable, permanent home as soon as possible, followed by wrap-around support.

The Provider will be expected to become a key partner in the development and delivery of approaches to address homelessness in Coventry. The Provider will proactively engage in the delivery and development of services and pathways to meet strategic objectives.

The overall outcome of the Housing First Pilot will be a reduction in rough sleeping across the WMCA area. In Coventry this will be evidenced through the following outcomes/outputs:

- Rough sleepers and those at risk of rough sleeping who meet the criteria for the Housing First pilot are quickly identified and supported to engage with the Housing First service
- Those who meet the criteria for Housing First support but refuse initial attempts to engage will continue to receive support and be offered services through different methods of engagement and flexible approaches to support provision
- Individuals with severe disadvantage and multiple and complex needs will be supported to access suitable accommodation that meets their needs in Coventry
- Individuals receiving Housing First support will continue to remain housed with no immediate threat of homelessness
- Individuals receiving Housing First support will see an improvement in their health & wellbeing
- Individuals receiving Housing First support will experience an increase in independence
- Individuals receiving Housing First support will feel empowered to engage with support services and their local community on a regular and consistent basis
- Individuals receiving Housing First support will identify their employment and training needs and move towards sustainable employment or volunteering
- Individuals receiving Housing First support will be supported to engage or re-engage in appropriate and supportive relationships with family and friends if appropriate
- At the end of the Housing First pilot individuals supported will be redirected to appropriate services with an individual exit plan.
