The Director of Adults and Health will be asked to approve the direct award of six Housing Related Support contracts in West Sussex. These are the ‘Pathways Home’ services which are co-funded with our District and Borough partners. The new contracts will have an initial term of twelve months with the option to extend for up to a further twelve months and will commence on 1st April 2025.
All six contracts provide support to those who are experiencing or threatened with homelessness. Two of the services are delivered in an accommodation based setting whereas the other four services are delivered on a floating support basis.
The services assist the council in meeting its statutory duties and some of the specific outcome priorities as detailed in the West Sussex Our Council Plan.
These are:
• Keeping people safe from vulnerable situations.
• A sustainable and prosperous economy.
• Helping people and communities to fulfil their potential.
• Making the best use of resources
