Homelessness and Rough Sleeper Strategy 2020-2025

We are in the process of reviewing the current Homelessness and Rough Sleeper Strategy.

The key priorities have been reviewed and updated following an extensive evidence review into homelessness and rough sleeping in the Borough. Although the priorities have remained the same, the narrative and key objectives within the priorities have been reviewed and updated to reflect the current data and our learning over the last five years.

We would like to hear your views on the proposed priorities and key objectives which are outlined in the online survey below.

Have your say: Please share your thoughts through our online survey.

The consultation closes midnight on Sunday 19 January 2025.


We are firmly committed to preventing homelessness and helping people to find housing that meets their needs. The Homelessness Strategy (pdf 351kb) has six overarching priorities, these are:-

  • Early Help and Prevention
  • Empowerment
  • Rough Sleeper Pathway
  • Robust Partnerships
  • Expanding Housing Options
  • Sustainment

If you have any issues or require any further help with accessing and viewing our strategies, or you require the strategies in a different format or language please contact us.

A hard copy of the Homelessness Strategy is available upon request.
