Minutes:
The Portfolio Holder for Housing and Waste Management requested Members approval of the refreshed Homelessness Prevention Strategy 2016-20, the annual Strategy Action Plan, the Spend Plan that sets out how the homelessness prevention activity will be resourced over the first two years to 2018 and the supporting review and evidence base document.
The report also requested Cabinet approval of the Housing Solutions Fund, the Hospital Discharge Protocol and refreshed Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP), three key tools that will support the delivery of the Strategy and Action Plan.
Additionally, the report requested approval from Cabinet to increase the Bed and Breakfast Budget by £50K in order ensure the Council can assist those in need of temporary accommodation at a time of increased demand.
The report also requested approval to participate in the Government backed Gold Standard scheme that will require the Council to have excellent services and partnerships in place that meet the 10 local challenges that underpin the scheme.
