RSI (Rough Sleeping Initiative) Navigator services

Description

The RSI Navigator service ensures that we are working towards ending rough sleeping within the borough and is based on assisting with the delivering of the three principles identified in the Oldham Rough Sleeping Plan; 
1.	Prevention - Stopping people sleeping rough for the first time. 
2.	Intervention - Support to those currently sleeping rough to move off the streets. 
3.	Recovery - Support to those who have slept rough to ensure they don't return to the streets
The RSI Navigator is tasked with sourcing accommodation and building effective networks of support for rough sleepers in the borough. 
The RSI Navigator is key to tenancy sustainment for the cohort of identified entrenched rough sleepers. The ongoing support provided by the RSI Navigator continues through their journey in temporary accommodation schemes such as A Bed Every Night (ABEN) and stays with them when they are housed in an independent tenancy, in either the social or private sector. 
This RSI Navigator funding is provided by GMCA and runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, at a cost of £49,372.
