The accommodation is not conditional upon the customer accepting offers of support or proving themselves to be 'housing-ready' and the support is intensive and flexible to respond to the needs of individual customers. This service area will be focused on Solihull, West Midlands. The tender is estimated to be published on the 9th November 2019 with a closing date of 30th November 2019.
