Item 7 - Commissioning of Refuge Provision (30/11G)

Summary
 
In March 2021, Grants Committee agreed that the commissioning of refuge provision for the 2022-2026 Grants Programme should be deferred to 2022, due to the introduction of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, which placed new duties on the Greater London Authority, as a Tier 1 authority for the provision of safe accommodation for people fleeing domestic abuse
To proceed with the call for proposals, the service specification for emergency specialist refuge provision is presented at this Grants Committee meeting for discussion and agreement.
Recommendations
 
Grants Committee members are asked to:
 
- discuss, comment on and, subject to any proposed amendments, agree the Requirements (the service specification) for emergency specialist refuge provision for the London Councils 2022-2026 Pan-London Grants Programme (Appendix 1)
- note the next steps and timetable for implementing the emergency specialist refuge provision (Application Process and Schedule, page 20 of Appendix 1).
