The brief

There have been several initiatives across Greater Manchester that have supported local delivery of rough sleeping and homeless schemes.

One of these initiatives is the creation of the 'A Bed Every Night' (ABEN) provision with each of the ten Contracting Authorities within GM providing a local ABEN service.
