We have considered the feedback on the proposals we consulted on earlier this year for homelessness prevention services in Newcastle, including the consultation previously live on Let's Talk. This document outlines the final contract opportunities that concluded the final stage of our consultation with stakeholders and were offered to the market as a competitive tender process: Homelessness prevention and Relief Responses - Integrated Impact Assessment
It was produced in the context of a number of stakeholder engagement and co-design sessions held in 2018/19, including engagement with individuals to share their lived experience of homelessness services in Newcastle and their thoughts on how they might be configured.
The final opportunities were recently successfully tendered and the services as outlined in the IIA will go live from 01 October 2019.
