Short description
The Contracting Authority proposes to engage in a process for the establishment of a multi-party framework agreement for the provision of Homeless Accommodation Inspection Service at centres within the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive.
Emergency accommodation is an accommodation measure to meet the needs of people who are experiencing homelessness. It is part of a strategy to protect people from rough sleeping. The overall focus of homeless services is homeless prevention and housing led solutions to homelessness. However, there are increasing numbers of people presenting as homeless and so an interim measure is required.
All accommodation providers are obliged to adhere to the below:
• Fire standards
• Building Regulations
• EHO - With reference to Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 2017
• DRHE policy on access to accommodation
• GDPR
