City of London Women's Programme Floating Support Service

Description

Background and Scope The City of London Corporation is commissioning a Floating Support Service to provide wrap-around support to female survivors of DA/DV who are located in a 6-bed temporary accommodation in the London Borough of Greenwich. The City of London Women’s Project (COLWP) is a 6-bed HMO located in the London Borough of Greenwich that serves female survivors of DA/DV, under the statutory duties of the Housing Act 1996 (Part VII), the Homeless Reduction Act 2017 and the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. This floating support service will provide rapid, effective, and tailored support to the City of London Women’s Project with the goal of empowering survivors of domestic abuse to prepare them to move into safe, healthy and independent housing. The service will support intersectionally marginalised service users with a range of needs, focusing on removing barriers to resettlement and ensuring their safety and wellbeing, with built-in understanding of the added needs surrounding neurodiversity and homelessness. The service will interact with the local Domestic Abuse MARAC and IDVA’s where appropriate to ensure support is coordinated and client focussed whilst supporting the service users to develop and work through their personal housing plans. The City of London Corporation Department of Community and Children's Services is responsible for delivering these services.
