Responding to a comprehensive needs assessment, Cardiff’s Housing Support Programme Strategy was published in 2022 and set out the single strategic direction for homelessness prevention and housing-related support services in Cardiff for the next four years. It identified and set out the key priorities for the Council and its partners. Welsh Government have requested that we carry out a light touch review of our needs assessment, consider any significant developments or changes to policy or external factors that may have had an impact on the strategy since publication, and refresh any strategic priorities if necessary. The mid strategy review will set out refreshed strategic priorities and will also contain an analysis of responses to the Homelessness Consultation which took place between July and September 2024.
