Keep My Home: homelessness support service consultation

Why are we doing this?

We’re consulting on a new way of supporting people to stay out of homelessness.

Why are we doing this?

We provide a range of services to people who have experienced homelessness. 

These services aim to help people to stay out of homelessness.

We try to take a needs-based approach to supporting people to stay out of homelessness. This means we try to look at what the person we are helping needs, and offer support that can help.

The support that we offer includes:

1. Trying to stop people from becoming homeless in the first place (also called 'early intervention')
2. Helping people to keep their tenancy when they move into permanent accommodation
3. Support to recover from substance or alcohol misuse
4. Support with mental health
5. Helping people to manage their money

At the moment, these services are provided to the council under contract by three separate organisations. These organisations are:

1. Clwyd Alyn
2. The Wallich
3. Adullam Housing Association

All of the contracts come to an end in 2024, and we would like to review whether we could offer the same support to people in a different way.

Offering all of the services under one single contract could allow us to help a wider range of people.    

Offering all of the services under one single contract could allow us to save money.

What do we want to know?

We want to know what you think.

Do you think we could support people in a different or a better way?
