Content: Cabinet noted the content of this report which provides an update on work to deliver the Housing Strategy objectives.   Options & Alternatives Considered   To stop monitoring the delivery of the Housing Strategy. While every local authority must formulate a Homelessness Strategy, it is not compulsory to have a wider housing strategy. This option is not recommended, as it would encourage a “business as usual” approach to housing, while the widening of the housing crisis requires a renewed commitment to tackle the challenge. Monitoring helps ensure continued focus on strategic outcomes and maintains accountability for these outcomes.
