Homelessness prevention strategy

The Homelessness Prevention Strategy 2008-2011 sets out what the Council and a wide range of partners will do to try and tackle homelessness in Calderdale over a three year period. It is the second such strategy to be developed by the Borough since the requirement to publish a homelessness strategy was introduced in 2002.

The strategy contains four key objectives:

• to prevent homelessness by providing appropriate services and initiatives
• to provide support for people when they are vulnerable
• to tackle the wider causes and symptoms of homelessness
• to provide more settled homes.

Each objective is supported by a comprehensive action plan.
