Summary: East Riding of Yorkshire Council is planning accommodation services for young people aged 16–18 and older, including care leavers, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and young people moving towards adulthood and greater independence. The work is intended to strengthen pathways to independence and develop sustainable accommodation options. The Council is seeking views from accommodation providers and partners on improving existing provision, developing new accommodation models and working more effectively with external providers. The scope is limited to services where accommodation is part of the contract; it does not cover home care, other services without accommodation, or property leases. Services are for delivery in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Council will use market feedback alongside young people’s views and wider demand information to shape future accommodation planning and commissioning.
