RSI services aim to prevent rough sleeping where possible and where not possible to ensure it is rare, brief and non-recurring.

The RSI Navigator support is key to tenancy sustainment for a cohort of identified entrenched rough sleepers.
Commission an RSI Navigator service using grant monies awarded to the council. The most recent grant award of RSI Navigator funding is made by GMCA and runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029.
The RSI Navigator service ensures that we are working towards ending rough sleeping within the borough and is based on assisting with the delivery 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 provider is key to tenancy sustainment for the cohort of identified entrenched rough sleepers.
