Housing Related Support provides non-statutory time limited (2 years) low-level support to a range of vulnerable people including: people who are homeless (both young and older people), people who have mental health support needs, ex-offenders, women fleeing domestic abuse and people with substance misuse issues. The service can be delivered either in a person's own home (floating support) or in supported accommodation where the support is linked with the accommodation. Support consists of supporting people to pay their rent & utility bills, help find employment, training or education and support people to cook, shop and engage with the community. In essence, it provides the life skills to enable vulnerable people to live independently and maintain a tenancy. People in receipt of HRS do not usually qualify for Adult Social Care services and providers are generally not regulated with Care Quality Commission (CQC) as HRS does not provide any regulated activities Brent Council are committed to delivering high quality care and support services to vulnerable people. The providers we are looking for must therefore be able to demonstrate that they have a track record of working with this client group and can evidence that they are able to achieve the best possible outcomes for service users. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Interested providers are invited to attend a provider engagement session to be held on 11th February 2021 The event will provide providers with further information on the services and procurement process.
