The notice in full

The Homelessness Prevention Pathways - ''Reach'', ''Barton Buildings'', and ''Burlington Street'', managed by Developing Health and Independence (DHI), provide a continuum of support across B&NES. ''Reach'' delivers floating/visiting support to a minimum of 200 households, including rough sleepers, care-experienced individuals, young people, and those with substance misuse or mental health needs, to prevent homelessness and promote independent living.

''Barton Buildings'' offers abstinence-based accommodation for 6 individuals in recovery from substance misuse, while ''Burlington Street'' supports 9 individuals recovering from alcohol (primary) and drug (secondary) problems. These services address significant societal challenges, with over 300,000 people experiencing homelessness in the UK and substance misuse affecting approximately 3 million adults, contributing to housing instability and health crises.

''Reach'' prevents tenancy loss and supports community integration, while ''Barton Buildings'' and ''Burlington Street'' provide structured recovery environments, reducing relapse risks and reliance on acute NHS and social care services. All services employ PIE and TIC approaches to address complex vulnerabilities.
