Homelessness Strategy (pdf document) which provides a baseline
assessment of our current position in relation to homelessness and
sets out a way forward for the future along with the
Homelessness Strategy Delivery Plan. It also details how we
will ensure that services develop in line with needs and
aspirations of local people.
If you require help or advice from other organisations
other than the Council, further information is given in these
