Purpose

If the bid is successful, the SHAP grant
funding will ensure that we are able to continue to fund the
accommodation services that are keeping citizens safe in
accommodation. In addition to being a place to stay, these services
also provide appropriate support, and contribute to preventing and
reliving rough sleeping in the city, in line with the
government’s Rough Sleeping Strategy and the Bristol City
Council Corporate Strategy 2022-27.

accommodation, currently run by St Mungo’s under Bristol City
Council’s Homeless Pathways 2 and 3.

Alternative options considered

Rejected on the basis that additional resources will reduce rough
sleeping in Bristol.
