Temporary Accommodation with Housing Support

Description

Dumfries and Galloway Council has a legal statutory duty under Part II of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 – Homelessness Provisions (as amended, substituted or supplemented from time to time) to provide temporary accommodation to people who are homeless. This opportunity is for the provision of self-contained suitable accommodation with housing support within the Dumfries & Galloway Region to enable the Purchaser to provide interim accommodation for adults (16+) experiencing homelessness and requiring access to support services to assist them in sustaining temporary accommodation and in the move on to more permanent accommodation. There will also be a requirement to provide a unit of accommodation for the purposes of providing out of hours emergency accommodation for those persons presenting as homeless out with normal office hours (i.e. 9am to 5pm Monday – Friday).
