Young people referred to the service may be leading a chaotic lifestyle because of substance misuse or other addictions, offending or at risk of offending, because of homelessness, have been "looked after" children or all of these. Young People may also have a range of health needs e.g. mental health, learning disabilities, physical disability etc. For clarity, we would expect the providers to assist on a day to day basis with such needs, rather than providing direct medical or therapeutic input. The purpose of the support is to enable young people to make the successful transition to independent living and tenancy sustainment provided from a range of accommodation.

Provision of a housing support service for Supported Persons needs and inputs will vary as they progress through their individual journeys. The provider will be expected to attend a Housing Support Hub along with Aberdeen City Council's internal housing support team, outreach support providers, representatives from Health and Social Care Partnership services and others who will provide housing or housing support in the city. The service provider will be expected to access the Aberdeen City Council housing database to receive referrals and record outcomes. This is to enable future development of the service, monitoring of outcomes to assess the effectiveness of the service and to track the customer journey.
