Domestic Abuse Emergency, Safe and Supported Accommodation

Description

The Domestic Abuse Emergency and Safe Accommodation will support people and their families who are experiencing or who have been subject to domestic abuse, providing high quality safe and supportive accommodation and promoting resilience, independence, and healthy lives. The Council is seeking to commission a Domestic Abuse Emergency, Safe and Supported Accommodation Service for people who are experiencing domestic abuse. The service will offer emergency or supported housing, to address their needs and to support recovery to re-establish them into independent accommodation, in a timely manner. The accommodation will provide a psychologically informed environment that promotes modern standards of living, is safe, secure and provides individuals with dignity and privacy. The service will work flexibly and ensure that a range of emergency accommodation for people who need to be accommodated due to domestic abuse can be met, this can include single men or women, or men or women with their children. It also must be able to meet the needs of people who have further complexities.
