Homelessness Toolkits[E15]

From the notice

The LGA have received a grant to commission the development of two toolkits delivered by one supplier focussed on homelessness prevention and temporary accommodation management following the publication of the MHCLG National Plan to End Homelessness Strategy. This strategy outlines the cross departmental approach with a significant role for local authorities to play in the delivery of homelessness services and working to end homelessness. This means that, where homelessness does occur, these experiences should be rare – because homelessness is prevented wherever possible, brief – in that people should have access to support quickly, and non-recurring. The purpose of these toolkits is for Local Authority usage as practical support for relevant officers and politicians to inform their work on homelessness and rough sleeping. They should highlight on key areas within the two topics including best practice, good guidance, and practical advice for supporting the development of different models of work under current constraints. There are other relevant toolkits currently being procured by MHCLG which these will need to read across also such as on the Single Homelessness Pathway and Outreach. The timelines for this procurement are that we expect to see the toolkits published in Spring 2027 and to be in line with the Local Governments accessibility requirements, as well as the national procurement policy statement priorities of; • Delivering economic and social value • Driving economic growth • Building commercial capability to deliver value for money and stronger outcomes Toolkit…[E6]
