Decision details

171/2003 The Cabinet referred the initial proposals for the Homelessness Strategy to the Health and Community Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee for consideration alongside the Housing Strategy and taking into account the views of Cabinet concerning its support for increasing the use of Council void properties for homeless households from 25% to 50%, with this increase being reviewed after the first six months.

The Homelessness Strategy flows from the Housing Strategy, which is currently being developed as part of the Council's policy framework. This report will therefore be considered at the same time as the Housing Strategy.
