Homelessness

The Homelessness Act 2002 requires all local authorities to carry out and publish a homelessness strategy for their district and it is within this context that Medway Council has set out, in its strategy, proposals to:

• prevent homelessness,
• ensure that accommodation is and will be available for homeless people or those at risk of homelessness,
• provide support to homeless people.

The Homelessness Strategy covers the following areas:

• Purpose and vision.
• Overall objectives.
• The methodology.
• Working in partnership.
• Consultation.
• The homelessness review.
• Assessment of needs and gaps in provision.
• The improvement plan.

For the full strategy please refer to, Homelessness Strategy 2003 - 2008 (pdf file, 488KB).
