The new contract will start from the 7th January 2019. It will require Housing First support to be provided to 30 individuals in Solihull between the contract commencement and 31.03.21, with support continuing for these individuals up to 31.03.23. Housing First is a new approach to ending homelessness for those with multiple and complex needs. It centres on quickly moving people who are rough sleeping/ at risk of rough sleeping into permanent housing and then providing additional support and services in order to sustain the tenancy and prevent homelessness re-occurring. The accommodation is not conditional upon the customer accepting offers of support or proving themselves to be 'housing-ready' and the support is intensive and flexible to respond to the needs of individual customers. The successful provider will be required to deliver Housing First in accordance with the nationally recognised 7 key principles. In view of developing the specification for the service, organisations that have expressed an interest and have the capacity and track record to deliver such a service are invited to individual discussions with the Council's Housing Strategy Officer on Wednesday 24th October 2018 or Thursday 25th October 2018. Please complete the attached expression of interest & booking form to book yourself a slot. If you are able to attend, please complete the form below and return it via Solihull MBC e-tendering system via [csw-jets.com](https://www.csw-jets.com) before Monday 22nd October 2018.
