Tackling Homelessness and Rough Sleeping: Developing a Local, Diverse and Multi-Agency Approach

Homeless

The New Government has committed in its manifesto to “expanding successful pilots and programmes such as the Rough Sleeping Initiative and Housing First, and working to bring together local services to meet the health and housing needs of people sleeping on the streets.” This is ahead of the Tackling Homelessness Together consultation which recommended local authorities to develop local, diverse and joined-up responses to homelessness and rough sleeping.

Join us on 15th September for an up-to-date brief on the latest policy and next steps in tackling homelessness and rough sleeping. We will also explore best practice from trail-blazing authorities developing local, diverse and multi-agency involved initiatives.

Key issues to be addressed:

Acting on legislation effectively: Utilising the Homelessness Reduction Act to better effect
Plans to expand successful pilots and programmes such as the Rough Sleeping Initiative and Housing First
Temporary Fix, Permanent Solution: Considering Effective Housing Solutions
One size doesn’t fit all: Catering to different homeless needs
Local Need, Local Response: Shaping services to meet local homelessness contexts
Going beyond the duty to refer: Ensuring homeless needs are met beyond a referral to the LHA
Developing a Long-Term, Multi-Agency, Joined-Up Approach

Delegates will be drawn from anyone with an interest in tackling homelessness and rough sleeping issues, including; local housing authorities, local authority homelessness teams, cabinet members, frontline servies, housing associations, elected members, councillors and community groups.
