Housing, homelessness and rough sleeping strategy

Detailed Action Plans for the periods 2026/2027 and 2028/2029 will be prepared to cover the measurable and targeted outcomes for the Strategy, including localised KPIs, timeline and success criteria.

While these Action Plans will initially be based on the Aims and priorities outlined in the Strategy, reviews prior to and after each period will contribute to areas of focus and further interventions as the demands emerge and change.

Strategy KPIs, will be incorporated into the wider Council performance monitoring and management arrangements, including report monthly and quarterly to the relevant Portfolio Holders and through the Council performance clinic.

The practical measures to deliver interventions with partners will also be detailed in each Action Plan. The Outcome frameworks will be incorporated into the reporting measures.

Targeted interventions for high-risk groups, including private renters facing eviction, care leavers, victims of domestic abuse, will be covered in each Action Plan.

Support for individual vulnerable groups, including People with disabilities; Veterans; Young people/care leavers; People leaving prison; and Gypsies and Travellers will be addressed in detail in the Action Plans.

During 2026, the Council, with support from Stevenage Council, is trailing a one-year arrangement (with the opportunity to extend) to providing support for those being dispersed following a successful asylum claim.
