Purpose

Future contractual arrangements for
the provision of support for residents of five hostels in the
borough who:
• have been rough sleeping or are otherwise homeless;
• often have complex support needs including mental
health and substance misuse;
• often become physically frail at a much younger age
than the general population, necessitating increasing
levels of care and support over time
