No Second Night Out Accommodation Service in Waltham Forest

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is seeking experienced providers to deliver a No Second Night Out Accommodation Based Project (NSNO-ABP) for single adults experiencing rough sleeping. The service will operate 14 self-contained or semi-self-contained units providing short-term, supported accommodation with the primary goal of rapid assessment, stabilisation, and transition into longer-term sustainable housing. Key service objectives include: providing immediate safe accommodation, conducting holistic assessments within 72 hours of entry, developing personalised support and resettlement plans, and facilitating access to health, social care, and housing services. The accommodation must include communal spaces for meals and social interaction, staff office space for confidential meetings, and secure access with CCTV. The service targets adults aged 18 and over who are currently rough sleeping, including those with complex needs such as mental health conditions, substance misuse issues, or offending history. All referrals are made exclusively through the Council's Rough Sleeping Coordinator via Pathway Planning meetings. Interested providers should have demonstrable experience in delivering homelessness services, supporting vulnerable individuals with complex needs, and managing supported accommodation facilities.
