Preventing homelessness

The government has just released the latest Code of Guidance for local authorities reviewing their homelessness reviews and strategies. Two years into the prevention agenda and ‘spend to save’, how can local authorities and their voluntary sector partners learn from emerging best practice?

Delegates at this solution-focused event will explore how that agenda has developed and learn about innovative partnership approaches that enable people to remain in their homes or avoid the crisis of homelessness. The event focuses on developing an effective homelessness strategy through partnership working.

Local authorities and their voluntary sector partners are operating in an environment where targets and resources are pressurised. The business context is fast moving and complex, the challenges ahead numerous. To meet them calls for truly innovative solutions.

If you work in or run homelessness services for local authorities or the voluntary sector, this event is your ideal opportunity to find out how others are meeting these challenges and learn about exciting approaches that are making a difference.
