Description

The Homelessness Supported Accommodation Services (HSAS) project is a recommissioning and commissioning programme to deliver accommodation-based, housing-related support services across a portfolio of supported housing schemes in Cornwall.
The contract will bring together a number of existing commissioned services and new provision into a single, consistent commissioning approach, structured through multiple Lots aligned by geography, client cohort and service type. Services will be delivered by specialist providers and will support adults aged 18+ (including young people aged 18–25 and care-experienced individuals) who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and require structured support to access, sustain and move on from accommodation.
HSAS will provide trauma-informed, person-centred support within supported accommodation settings, focused on stabilisation, tenancy sustainment, wellbeing, and progression into independent living. The service model will combine individual accommodation-based support with group-based interventions, alongside coordinated multi-agency working.
The procurement seeks to:
- Ensure continuity of supported accommodation support services from April 2027;
- Improve consistency, quality and outcomes across the portfolio;
- Reduce repeat homelessness and rough sleeping;
- Reduce reliance on temporary and emergency accommodation; and
- Deliver value for money through a streamlined, outcomes-focused commissioning approach.
Contracts are expected to commence on 1 April 2027 for an initial period of two years, with options to extend (2 + 3 + 3 years), subject to performance and funding availability. The programme is funded through central government grant funding for homelessness, rough sleeping and supported housing.
