Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2020 - 2025

This Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy sets out how we will work together with partners to prevent homelessness and rough sleeping over the next five years.

It replaces our Prevention of Homelessness Strategy 2014-2019 and includes a more detailed approach to our rough sleeping interventions and how homelessness services have changed since the introduction of the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.

Our Vision is to:-

Prevent homelessness and end rough sleeping in Blaby by working in partnership to meet the housing and broader needs of those at risk of, or who are already homeless.

Our strategy covers four key priorities:

• Preventing homelessness and reducing the use of temporary accommodation

• Increasing the supply of affordable housing

• Developing partnership work and wider communications to ensure efficient service user-led provision

• Supporting Vulnerable Households to be independent and self-reliant
