Decision:

That the actions by which the City implements the Homeless Reduction Act be endorsed.

Minutes:

Councillor Peter Bilson presented the Homelessness Reduction Bill and Rough Sleepers report for endorsement. The report provided an update of the Homelessness Reduction Act and the increase in homelessness, in particular rough sleeping, and how this would be addressed in Wolverhampton going forward. The reconfiguration of the service currently provided as well as the introduction of new provision would offer an effective service to those already homeless and prevent homelessness for those at risk, and would allow the Council to meet the new required duty.

 

Resolved:

 

That the actions by which the City implements the Homeless Reduction Act be endorsed.
