Everyone should have access to a safe, secure, and suitable home. This Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy sets out our commitment to preventing homelessness, reducing rough sleeping, and supporting residents to secure and sustain settled accommodation. Working collaboratively with residents, partners, and stakeholders, we will focus on early intervention, targeted support, and effective partnership working to improve outcomes and tackle the underlying causes of homelessness.
Underpinned by a detailed action plan, the strategy sets clear priorities and actions to deliver measurable change. It aligns with the Council's wider priorities and recognises that addressing homelessness requires a coordinated response to the social, economic, and health challenges that can place people at risk of housing insecurity.
