In July 2008, the Council published its new Homelessness Strategy for the District. 

The strategy was developed following a thorough review of homelessness in the district, which identified the key causes of homelessness, those affected and the main areas of work to be carried out.

The strategy sets out a five year action plan of how the Council intends to address the issue of homelessness in the district.  The strategic action plan will be monitored by a specially formed Homelessness Strategy Steering Group.  The strategic action plan will be updated annually and will include any further targets/areas of work, as identified.
