Homelessness Review and Homelessness Strategy 2008-2013


Consultation 7th April 08 to 30th June 08

In July 2008 Braintree District Council will publish a new Homelessness Review and Strategy 2008-2013.

The Homelessness Strategy sets out how the Council will address homelessness in the District. This strategy is based on the Homelessness Review which is a piece of research that identifies the levels of homelessness in district and which groups of people are most affected.

The Homelessness Strategy Action Plan will be monitored at meetings of the Homelessness Strategy Steering Group and updated annually, including new targets as identified by the Group.

This is a first draft Action Plan that we are publishing for comment. We would expect some changes to be made and intend to publish a second draft of the plan mid June 2008 which will have considered the comments received to date.

The Homelessness Review and Strategy will be considered by Braintree Districts Council’s Cabinet on the 7 July 08. 

Key contacts for discussing the Homelessness Review or Strategy Action Plan are:-
