Decision details

Bristol City Council’s Supported Housing Delivery Plan – which sits within our Affordable Housing Delivery Plan 2022-2025 (Project 1000) - has been developed to clearly outline our future supported housing priorities to our delivery partners for different cohorts over the next 5 years.
This plan provides information about the new supported housing we need in the city. It is driven by three of our service transformation programmes in Children and Families, Adult Social Care, and Temporary Accommodation, and it aims to prioritise investment, provide greater local choice of housing, care and support options, improve outcomes for citizens, and help to deliver the savings that we as a council need to make.
The Plan sets out the supported housing need of different cohorts below:
•Preparing for Adulthood (Transitions)
•Autistic people
•People with learning disabilities
•People with mental health support needs
•People experiencing multiple disadvantage
•Young people including care leavers (18+)
•Families experiencing homelessness
•Single people experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping
•People experiencing domestic abuse
•People with substance use support needs.
By increasing the supply of high-quality, supported housing we can enable people to live more independently and have the support they require to succeed.

Following support at the Supported Housing Delivery Board and at joint Cabinet Member briefings, approval is given to publish and promote the Supported Housing Delivery Plan. This will ensure our future supported housing priorities are clear to our delivery partners.

The Council does not have a current Supported Housing Delivery Plan. An option was to continue without a Plan but our delivery partners expressed a need for the Council to provide clear information on our future supported housing requirements. There was also a strong need for services across the Council to work even more collaboratively in order to create a clear, joined-up approach to new supported housing delivery.
