Provision of Storage and Removals of property for homeless households in Temporary Accommodation

Description

This advert describes the requirements Bridgend County Borough Council (the Council) has for Removals and Storage of property for homeless households in Temporary Accommodation. In accordance with Section 93 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 the Council has a duty and a power to protect the property of homeless persons and persons threatened with homelessness, where there is a reason to believe that there is a danger of loss or damage to the property and its owner is unable to protect or deal with it and no other suitable arrangements can be made. Therefore, where the Council takes action to protect the property of homeless persons or those threatened with homelessness, it will arrange for property to be stored by a furniture removal and storage company. Provision will also assist the Local Authority in fulfilling its duties under The Housing (Wales) Act 2014. 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.
