Most authorities have recently developed a new Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy or refreshed an existing strategy and action plan. When you next need to review homelessness in your area, develop a new strategy and draw up an action plan, we can assist you with this.

​

​

The following elements can be included in this work as agreed:

 

•    Use of data to establish current and projected levels of homelessness overall;

causes of homelessness and rough sleeping; current outcomes for customers;

which groups of people may be more at risk of homelessness

 

•    Mapping of current services available to customers; prevention activity;

supply of accommodation; support services

 

•    Relevant local and national strategies and policies which indirectly or directly relate to homelessness

 

•    Consultation with customers and other stakeholders, including Third Sector,

housing associations and other public sector agencies

 

•    Formulation of a strategy and action plan, based on agreed local themes/areas for focus, as well as national guidance on prevention, rough sleeping, supply of accommodation and support services

 

•    Equality impact assessment of draft strategy and action plan
