Notice Title
Young Persons Homelessness Pathfinder
Notice Description
The GMCA will be looking to reprocure The Greater Manchester young persons Homelessness prevention service. The Greater Manchester (GM) Young Persons Homelessness Prevention Service is a flexible, person-centred service designed to prevent homelessness for young people between the ages of 18-25. This service builds on the learning of the Young Persons Homelessness Prevention Pathfinder service which had previously been commissioned to provide homelessness prevention support for young people across GM between 2022 - 2026. The new service model is expected to be outcomes based, evidence-informed, and highly personalised, enabling more flexible and responsive primary prevention focused support for young people at risk of homelessness. It will intervene for individuals who are at risk of their first instance of homelessness in the next 6 months at point of access and who are lacking the support that would enable them to prevent their situation worsening. The service also aligns heavily to priorities included as part of the Greater Manchester Strategy 2025 - 2035, working towards ensuring healthy homes for all and everyday support in every neighbourhood. Tender process has been undertaken
