New Interventions and Approaches for Rough Sleepers: Final Report Summary

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services summarising the key findings and recommendations from the ‘New Interventions and Approaches for Rough Sleepers’ report commissioned from Homeless Link in March 2019.

 

Members were advised that subject to approval by the Court of Common Council on 5 March 2020, funding would hopefully be secured for a permanent Assessment Centre in the City and a minimum of 30 beds in a hostel for homeless people with high complex needs. Members agreed these were needed services and a big achievement.

 

The Board gave thanks to Officers for their hard work in this area.
