The Homelessness Act 2002 imposes a duty on local housing authorities to formulate and publish a homelessness strategy based on the results of its homelessness review.
The Act specifies that a strategy should be formulated to:
-
prevent homelessness in the district
-
secure sufficient accommodation for people who are or may become homeless
-
secure the provision of support for people who are or may become homeless or who
have been homeless and need support to prevent them becoming homeless again.
The Borough’s Homelessness Review informs and influences our strategy and provides a valuable insight into the homelessness issues within the borough.
Our strategy covers the period up to 2013 and is refreshed on an annual basis - to see the most recent version see the related documents section below.
