Minutes:
Councillor Graham Dunn, Executive Member (Homes and Housing), presented the report of the Deputy Chief Executive which outlines the homelessness and rough sleeping review and strategy.
Members noted that Chorley was in a good position because of the method taken in previous years to focus on early intervention, and this strategy sought to continue this approach. Two population groups presented slightly elevated figures (LGBTQ+ and Pakistani) but it was noted that a rigorous response was provided when needed.
Decision:
That the draft homelessness and rough sleeping review (appendix 1) and strategy (appendix 2) be approved.
Reasons for Recommendation(s):
Publishing a Homelessness Review and Strategy are statutory requirements and the previous document is due to be renewed, the draft review and strategy meet these requirements.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
Due to statutory requirements for a homelessness review and strategy no other
options could be considered.
