Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3)

Description

Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3) is a provision funded by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and overseen in Greater Manchester by the Greater Manchester Probation Service and Manchester City Council, to provide short-term accommodation and support for people who are threatened with homelessness upon their release from prison or approved premises, for up to 84 days. The CAS3 provision emphasises the prevention of homelessness and the reduction in reoffending. Manchester City Council is seeking to engage with existing and potential providers of support and accommodation services to understand the market's capabilities in providing short-term support and accommodation for people who have recently left custody.
