Market sounding for the Transitional Supported Accommodation (TSA) Service

⁠⁠⁠The Transitional Supported Accommodation (TSA) program supports higher risk clients being released from custody and under supervision of Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW).

Project goals

The project goals include:

• deliver a service that supports clients with their reintegration back to the community following release from custody
• support CSNSW’s offender case management by delivering evidence-based services and address a clients’ criminogenic needs
• facilitate access to culturally and gender-appropriate services and opportunities
• increase program and treatment participation and completion
• collaborate with other human service agencies to enhance offender access to services
• improve community safety
• improve legal order completion rates.

Scope

The Transitional Supported Accommodation (TSA) program will provide supported post-release accommodation for up to 12 weeks to approx 16 eligible offenders per year. A TSA Service Provider will:

• work in partnership with CSNSW & assist with a broad range of casework activities
• have an appropriate residential facility to deliver the program & be responsible for all associated outgoings 
• engage suitably trained & experience staff to work with clients with complex needs 

This group of clients experience many barriers in accessing stable housing. It is recognised that a program like TSA can assist clients to sustain tenancies & address risk factors for both homelessness & re-offending. Providing targeted support services can contribute to improved client outcomes & have a positive impact on adjustment to community life. 

The TSA can be available to anyone who has recently left custody, however given the over-representation of Aboriginal people in custody, it is important & necessary for service providers to possess the capability & capacity to provide a culturally responsive service. 

This market sounding will investigate the market & provide an opportunity to ensure the sector are advised of this program & market feasibility is investigated.
