IA2775 High Level Supported Accommodation - Rough Sleeper Initiative

Stafford Borough Council have submitted a bid to the Department of Leveling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) for Rough Sleeper Initiative 2022 - 2025 funding for six units of high-level supported accommodation that will form part of the local rough sleeper pathway. This pathway will contribute to ending rough sleeping in Stafford by 2025 and increase the housing options available to individuals with multiple and complex needs who are rough sleeping, or at risk of rough sleeping. The overall aim of the project is to get individuals with a history of rough sleeping or repeat homelessness into sustainable accommodation, with tailored support that addresses underlying support needs. The approach will provide strength-based solutions and ongoing support so that no one has to spend a night on our streets and instances of rough sleeping and repeat homelessness will be reduced.
