How to win: Floating Housing Support (Long-Term Enduring Mental Health; LD, Autism and Care Leavers)

About this contract

The London Borough of Hackney is preparing to tender a newly redesigned, tenure-neutral Floating Housing Support Service. The council is seeking an experienced external provider to deliver high-quality, specialist housing-related floating support. The redesigned service focuses on a Complex Long-Term (Level 3/Tier 4) model with no fixed cutoff dates. It expands traditional boundaries to support residents with severe mental illness (SMI) alongside co-occurring Learning Disabilities, Neurodivergence (Autism/ADHD), and Care Leavers (aged 18+) transitioning into Adult Services. We hope this will interest experienced Adult Social Care providers, SME,Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), and specialist Mental Health/Neuro-Inclusive support organisations.
