Decision

The Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)          Note the priority actions points which have been taken to manage homelessness over the past 6 months.

(2)          Note the use of the Homelessness, Rough Sleeping and Domestic Abuse Grant, the recently announced Rough Sleeper Programme funding and a 4% inflationary uplift in the nightly paid budget, to meet the increase in expenditure, during 2026/27, to enable the Council to meet its duties under the Housing Act 1996 and Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.
