Provision of The Kerrigan Project

Supported Accommodation for Vulnerable Service Users with Multiple or Complex Support Needs (The Kerrigan Project) & Low Level supported accommodation (Commercial Street (and any additional dispersed units))

This advert describes the requirements Bridgend County Borough Council (the Council) has for accommodation-based housing related support. Whilst the services will be delivered under one contract they can be distinctly split between the following aspects:

• Supported Accommodation for Vulnerable Service Users with Multiple or Complex Support Needs (The Kerrigan Project) & Low Level supported accommodation (Commercial Street (and any additional dispersed units))

These services will build upon existing provision, responding to the needs of and supporting service users with housing related support needs that mean they cannot yet live independently.

Housing related support is provided to help vulnerable people develop or maintain the skills and confidence necessary to live as independently as possible. Housing related support helps vulnerable people address what are often multi-faceted problems, such as debt, employment, tenancy management, substance misuse, and mental health issues.

The service will assist with the vision of the Housing Support Grant that promotes “A Wales where nobody is homeless and everyone has a safe home where they can flourish and live a fulfilled, active and independent life”.

Provision will also assist the Local Authority in fulfilling its duties under The Housing (Wales) Act 2014, Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 and Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.

This service will also assist the Council in meeting the aims and objectives set out in the Council’s Homelessness Strategy 2022-2026 and subsequent Action Plan.
