Draft Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2023-2028

Summary

This Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy seeks to tackle all forms of homelessness,
including those who are owed a statutory duty of assistance and often living in temporary
accommodation, as well as people who are staying in supported housing, sleeping rough on
the streets, or have other transient arrangements (e.g. sleeping on a friend's sofa).

A range of actions has been identified for the Council, along with other public bodies,
Private Registered Providers and voluntary organisations, that can help tackle and prevent
homelessness. Specific actions have been included for people who are more at risk of
homelessness. The priorities and actions contained in this Homelessness and Rough Sleeping
Strategy have had regard to the functions exercised by Great Yarmouth Borough Council
and Norfolk County Council in respect of housing, adult social care, and child social care
services. This Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy promotes working across
organisations and policy boundaries, to ensure social inclusion and equality of access to
services. When developing this Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy, a broad range of
organisations have been consulted, including people who were experiencing homelessness,
or had done so previously.
