Ministry Announces Plan For Localised Homelessness Reduction Boards

MHCLG is considering the creation of area Homelessness Reduction Boards and is going out to consult as to how they could be set up for future function. The prospect of boards – along the lines of existing bodies like Health and Wellbeing Boards – is pitched in the Tackling homelessness together consultation paper on structures that support partnership working and accountability over homelessness. To MHCLG, such boards are seen as convening relevant local delivery partners, ensuring a strategic, joined-up area specific approach to reducing homelessness, and identifying and delivering the services and interventions that deliver their agreed objectives and outcomes. The consultation can be found on the MHCLG website.
