The Homeless Outreach Service is for anyone rough sleeping in the London Borough of Islington. The service will work at unsocial hours, undertaking shifts early in the morning and late at night to meet people when they are more likely to be bedded down. The team will be the first point of contact for those rough sleeping and will locate individuals by responding to street link referrals, partner notifications and intelligence led outreach. The council is looking for a support provider that is experienced in providing (rough sleeping) street outreach services in London.
The objectives of the Homeless Outreach Service are to:
The provision of this service meets a number of the Council’s key strategies: Homelessness Prevention and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024 - 2029 and the Islington Together 2030 Plan.\

The Homelessness Prevention and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024 – 2029 highlights the unique challenges faced by rough sleepers and those experiencing multiple disadvantage, including two or more of the following: poor physical or mental health, substance misuse, domestic abuse and experience of the criminal justice system. The strategy emphasizes the need for proactive outreach services, who can work in a relational and person-centered way, to support people access a suitable and sustainable route away from the streets.
The Islington Together 2030 plan sets out a commitment to ensuring that by 2030, everyone in Islington has a safe, decent and genuinely affordable place to call home and that residents experiencing, or at risk of homelessness, will feel well cared for and supported throughout.
