Our Homelessness Strategy provides a baseline assessment of our current position in relation to homelessness and sets out a way forward for the future. It also details how we will ensure that services develop in line with needs and aspirations of local people.

The strategy will help shape and develop services for people who are homeless, including those that are not "statutorily" homeless, and those in need of housing advice within Tendring. It also aims to raise the profile of homelessness and increase the understanding of the problems faced by homeless people.

Our aim is to prevent, wherever possible, homelessness occurring but in those cases where it does occur, provide a comprehensive assessment, support and accommodation service which is responsive to the needs of clients and that is aimed at preventing the re-occurrence of homelessness.
