Description
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is seeking to recommission the children's and young people's supported housing pathway services. The Tower Hamlets Young People's Supported Housing Pathway (YPSHP) currently serves the borough's Children's Social Care with accommodation-based support services in single and shared units across the borough. The council has full nomination rights to all properties and works collaboratively with the service providers to ensure that our young people are placed in suitable accommodation, with sufficient hours of care and support to meet their needs. The service provides a safe alternative to accommodating young people aged 16-25, who are in and on the edge of care, including looked-after children, care leavers, homeless young people, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and teenage parents. The Pathway is one of the ways in which the Council meets its statutory responsibilities under the Children Act 1989, the Children Act 2008, The Housing Act 1996 and The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council has a duty to provide supported housing for vulnerable children and young people (CYP) and to ensure that the services it commissions are of the highest quality and standard. As a Council, we are investing in our CYP and their potential; the Young People's Supported Housing Pathway is one of the ways in which the Council meets such duties. The Pathway is designed to provide accommodation and support services to CYP aged 16 to 25, who are in and on the edge of care, such as (but not limited to): Children in Care (CIC), care leavers (CLs), unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC), CYP who are former UASC, homeless CYP, CYP at risk of homelessness and young parents (with their babies). The services will be split into the following lots: • Lot 1 - High to medium support accommodation for CYP aged 16-25 • Lot 2 - Medium support accommodation for YP aged 18-25 • Lot 3 - Low support accommodation for YP aged 18-25 + floating support
