£1.7 Million Gold Standard Sets New Homelessness Benchmark

Housing Minister Mark Prisk has announced a new Gold Standard that will set the bar for local homelessness services, protecting this country’s most vulnerable when they face losing their home. He said that the scheme would save councils cash by reducing the need for emergency support such as bed and breakfast accommodation - which both costs the council more, and causes disruption for those individuals.  The scheme will provide a host of free training and support to help local authority housing options teams learn from each other and gain Gold Standard status.
