Notice Title

Home At Last Team (HALT) - Housing Support Service

Notice Description

The primary objective of this commission is to improve long-term recovery outcomes for people in drug treatment by integrating targeted housing support into the wider recovery framework. This initiative stems from the 10-year Drug Strategy, which allocated PS53m to address the significant housing instabilities often cited by individuals entering dependency services. By focusing on the delivery of stable housing, this project seeks to remove a primary barrier to successful treatment completion. Following the success of the HALT project, which commenced in 2021, this specification invites providers to bid to provide a Housing Support Service as part of the Home At Last Team (HALT) to support those with substance use issues into structured treatment and long term sustainable accommodation, which fits into our strategic objective of 'Increasing Treatment Capacity.' It will seek to reduce the number of rough sleepers with substance use issues who are not currently engaged in structured treatment, to prevent those within treatment who are at risk of homelessness due to their substance use from becoming homeless, and to offer support (professional and peer) to individuals who are within this cohort.
