Purpose

To receive and consider the recommendations of the report
in relation to the Homelessness Strategy.

Decision

RESOLVED that the Council’s Preventing Homelessness and
Rough Sleeping Strategy and Action Plan 2025-2030 be
approved.
 
Reasons for the decision
 
A review of homelessness and rough sleeping in
East Hampshire has informed the new strategy. The review ( Appendix
C) evidences rising approaches to the Housing Solutions service
over recent years, continued emphasis on prevention, and the need
to sustain partnership working across statutory and voluntary
sectors
 
Alternative Options Considered
 
No alternative option is proposed. It is a
statutory requirement for the Council to publish and maintain a
homelessness strategy based on a review of local circumstances.
