Decision details
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.
