Description

Community Accommodation Service – Tier 3 (CAS3) provides an opportunity to enable prison leavers who would otherwise be homeless to escape the vicious cycle of reoffending by providing up to 84 nights transitional accommodation on release from prison, or when moving on from CAS1 (Approved Premises) and CAS2 (Home Detention Curfew or Bail Accommodation) provisions. The service includes floating support to assist with the maintenance of the transitional accommodation. CAS3 provides a pathway to settled accommodation and acts as an enabler to wider strategic outcomes by giving people on probation greater stability as they engage in treatment, fulfil their wider licence conditions, improve their opportunities for employment and help the economy grow.
