## Description

North East London ICB wish to commission Homeless Outreach Services across Barking, Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge\. The vision of the ICB is for a healthy and well population able to care for itself where possible, with joined up services that work together, provided around the whole person and focused on early intervention and prevention\. Improving health and care outcomes for the homeless population is a key priority of the ICB, the BHR places and Local Authorities\.

Evidence shows using peer advocacy and a partnership approach to addressing health and care needs of homeless people improves the effectiveness of care delivery\.
