Rough Sleeping Initiative Move on and Prevention Funding

Decision Maker: Leader

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

To grant the Move on and Prevention funding (£79,573) to Restore Homes, Boston.

Reasons for the decision:

Providing the funding to Restore Homes will best meet the funding objectives and increase the amount of supported accommodation in Boston.


Alternative options considered:

To award the funding to a different provider, but discounted.

To retain the funding and the Council use the grant to provide its own accommodation. This was discounted because the Rough Sleeper team does not have capacity to manage the accommodation which would include an element of out of hours work. At the current time, there is also uncertainty over the future funding of this service.

Do nothing.
