Housing First is a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness, thus ending their homelessness and serving as a platform from which they can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life
Building on the emerging national data around Housing first for women, and the local capacity building work done over the last year, funding has been secured to procure a dedicated Housing First service for women affected by VAWG and multiple disadvantage, which will enable 10 women to move into permanent, independent tenancies provided by four housing providers on a partnership basis.
Intensive, wrap around support will be delivered by the successful provider to enable women to maintain their tenancies, and work towards safety and stability. Referrals to the project will be pan London, but Westminster referrals will make up at least half of the cohort (reflecting London trends).
The Housing First element of this service will be delivered in line with the Housing First 'fidelity principles' and MHCLGO domestic abuse quality standards.
