The building has to have 25 - 30+ single bedrooms so as to allow for sufficient economies of scale, given the amount of support that will need to be provided on site. Ideally, the building should provide some separation of the space so as to allow younger, more chaotic rough sleepers, to be slightly separated from the older rough sleepers who are more likely to have mental health needs Organisations should note that the total fixed budget for this Service is PS3,500,000 and is based on a core budget of 700,000 GBP per annum.
