Consultation closed 20 October 2023
This rough sleeping strategy 2023-28 (draft) aims to provide a high-level overview of the work Norwich City Council is doing in partnership with a broad range of national and local agencies to support people who are sleeping rough on our streets.
It was developed following the careful review of our previous strategy and the success and challenges we experienced through the pursuit of our previous targets.
As outlined in the strategy, our priorities for the next 5 years are:
- Prevention – Understanding the issues that lead to rough sleeping and working to address them before people are forced to sleep on the street.
- Intervention – Helping those already sleeping rough with swift support tailored to their individual circumstances.
- Recovery – Supporting people in finding a new home and rebuilding their lives.
- Systems – Look at blockages in the referral system and how we better connect the system to provide effective solutions faster.
We are opening the consultation for this updated strategy from Monday 11 September through to Friday 20 October 2023 and as our key stakeholders, we would love to hear your thoughts.
