Draft One of the Homelessness Strategy
A verbal update will be provided.
Minutes:
The Board received a verbal update in relation to the Draft Homelessness Strategy.
It was noted that a present a detailed programme of consultation was being constructed and that a scoping paper was being drafted that would identify the key issues that needed to be addressed.
The Board was advised that guidance was still awaited from GOL in relation to the Strategy and that this would also have an impact upon the Mayor’s Housing Strategy.
It was anticipated that the first draft of the Strategy would be published in May and that the final version would be submitted to Council in November for agreement.
The Chair noted that it was important that Partners had a clear sense of ownership towards the Strategy in order for it to be successful. As health was central to the Strategy it was important that Partners in this area were fully consulted as during the drafting of the document.
RESOLVED:
That the verbal update be noted.
