Consultation has concluded

The Homelessness Act 2002 (as amended) requires local housing authorities in England to formulate and publish a strategy in response to an assessment of homelessness within their area. The introduction of the Homelessness Reduction Act in April 2018 brought about significant change in the duties and powers available to a local housing authority.

The 2019-2024 Homelessness & Rough Sleeper Strategy focused on the the following priorities:

  1. To Prevent Homelessness – to stop people from becoming homeless.
  2. To Provide Accommodation – to those experiencing or facing homelessness.
  3. To work alongside Vulnerable People - support those experiencing the crisis of homelessness.
  4. To support Rough Sleepers away from the streets.
