The Royal Borough of Greenwich has become the first
council to achieve the Government’s Gold Standard award for tackling and
preventing homelessness. The Council has achieved all 10 of the Gold Standard
challenges including taking action against rogue landlords, preventing
residents from becoming homeless and reducing the need for temporary
accommodation. Last year the local authority prevented 1,800 households from
becoming homeless through their casework and support while its welfare reform
team prevented 225 families from becoming homeless and has supported 229 into
work. Read more on the Housing Excellence website.
