Notice Title

Targeted Interventions for People Leaving Home Office Accommodation

Notice Description

This service is designed to support people experiencing rough sleeping who have recently left Home Office accommodation or have become homeless following family reunification. Its core purpose is to help individuals exit rough sleeping as quickly as possible and move into appropriate accommodation, ensuring that rough sleeping is brief, non-recurrent and does not become entrenched.
