The
committee received a presentation from Christopher Brown, Service
Director for Housing, providing the context of demand and supply
pressures and statistics around people are risk of homelessness and
rough sleeping. They detailed the prevention approach, and looked
at the impact of rough sleeping and the Severe Weather Emergency
Protocol (SWEP), and how the new Somerset Housing and Rough
Sleeping Strategy is being developed. The request to the
councillors was to know what information the committee needed from
the team as the strategy was being developed?
The
committee noted the report and a discussion followed.
The
team offered to do a members briefing including the strategic work
that the team is doing so that members can be more
aware.
