Supported Accommodation Services for Homeless Young People (Ages 16-25)

Trafford Council is conducting soft market engagement to shape the future commissioning of supported accommodation services for young people aged 16-25 experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The council currently funds accommodation-based support programs that help young people develop essential skills, build resilience, and achieve independence to sustain housing and positive life outcomes. Services include short-stay supported accommodation lasting up to two years, emergency provision, and wraparound support services. The model emphasizes prevention and early intervention, with integrated access to education, employment, and health services to help young people establish stable futures. Interested service providers should be prepared to discuss their capacity to deliver accommodation and holistic support services tailored to this vulnerable age group.
