The Hillingdon Council Cabinet is scheduled to consider a range of reports, with a significant focus on the council's strategy for addressing homelessness and rough sleeping, as well as its housing investment plans. Other discussions are expected to cover the council's budget monitoring, substance misuse services, and various contract matters.

Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy

A key item on the agenda is the proposed Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy for 2026-2030. This strategy aims to outline the council's approach to tackling homelessness and supporting those sleeping rough within the borough. The report pack includes the strategy itself¹, a review of homelessness and rough sleeping in 2025², and a consultation report³ detailing feedback received on the proposed plans. An equalities impact assessment⁴ has also been prepared in relation to the strategy.

Housing Forward Investment Programme

The Cabinet is also set to review the Housing Forward Investment Programme for 2026/27, alongside a review of the 2025/26 programme. This report⁵ will likely detail planned investments in the council's housing stock and associated projects.

Substance Misuse and Stop Smoking Services

Consideration will be given to the services provided for substance misuse and smoking cessation. The relevant report⁶ is expected to outline the current provision and any proposed changes or developments in these areas.

Monthly Council Budget Monitoring Report

The Cabinet will receive the monthly council budget monitoring report for Month 10. This report⁷ will provide an update on the council's financial position, detailing income and expenditure against budget.

Public Preview of Confidential Reports

A report⁸ is scheduled to provide a public preview of confidential items that will be discussed in private. This allows for transparency regarding the nature of the sensitive information to be considered.

The meeting will also address several items designated as Part 2, meaning they will be considered in private due to containing exempt information. These include reports on a Dynamic Purchasing System for temporary accommodation placements, the Fleet Maintenance & Repair Contract, Home Care, Extra-care and Reablement Services Contracts, and the Fuel Contract for the Council's Fleet.
