Purpose

To consider and adopt.

Content

Decision:
Approve the new Homelessness Prevention and Rough Sleeping
Strategy 2025-2034 and accompanying action plan, intended to cover
the next three years of the Strategy with an annual
review.
Reason(s):

1.    
There is a
statutory requirement for the council to have a Prevention of
Homelessness Strategy.

2.    
Housing
strategies provide a framework for policy development, guiding the
delivery of housing services and improvements. With the previous
strategy now out of date, and an improvement programme for housing
services underway, having a new homelessness prevention and rough
sleeping strategy is essential to help us to deliver improved
services for our residents.
Other options considered and rejected by the
Executive:
Defer the strategy for further review and
development.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by the Leader or
lead councillors and any dispensation granted:
None.
