Government statistics indicate that on average one to four people are sleeping rough with the Borough at any one time - [gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-snapshot-in-england-autumn-2021/rough-sleeping-snapshot-in-england-autumn-2021-technical-report) To engage with this issue of rough sleeping / street homelessness in the Borough, RBWM has adopted a three-stage model / pathway. The aim of this model is to provide immediate assistance, but also to create a pathway to enable the former rough sleepers engaged in this model to receive support and develop skills to maintain a safer and more sustainable lifestyle in longer term accommodation within the private rented sector. ### The three stages are - Stage 1 - an initial assessment and the provision of emergency accommodation that is either in or adjacent to the Borough. The emergency accommodation is paid for by the Council. Stage 2 - intensive floating support provided in temporary accommodation (that is either in or adjacent to the Borough and is sourced by the Council) to service users to prepare them for more independent living. The temporary accommodation is paid for through a service user's individual benefit entitlement. Stage 3 - less intensive floating support provided to service users both in temporary accommodation and within the private rented sector. The accommodation is paid for through a service users individual benefit entitlement. RBWM undertakes Stage 1 of this model / pathway in house whilst Stages 2 and 3 are currently outsourced. The intention of RBWM is to ultimately let a multi-year contract for the provision of Stages 2 and 3.
