Temporary Accommodation

West Sussex County Council (WSCC) is continuing to explore options to expand and improve temporary accommodation across the county, with a strong focus on promoting and safeguarding the wellbeing of people who are homeless, as well as refugees and migrants in need of housing support. We are particularly interested in working with providers offering privately owned accommodation and independent settings, alongside more traditional provision. Due to increasing demand, we are now actively inviting accommodation providers and property owners to come forward and engage with us. The Council is seeking to engage with providers who can secure or supply temporary and emergency accommodation, as defined by Part VII of the Housing Act 1996, for individuals and households experiencing homelessness. This engagement will help inform a potential future procurement process.
