At Brent we believe that everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home and are committed to preventing and tackling homelessness across the borough.
We adopted our first Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy in 2020. While we made good progress on delivering on the commitments set out in that Strategy, the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, significant cost of living pressures, and a limited supply of affordable housing across London means that there is more for us to do.
Informed by a robust homelessness review, this Strategy introduces five outcome-based commitments. These commitments set out how we intend to build upon the existing homelessness services we deliver to not only ensure that we meet our statutory obligations and strive to end homelessness in Brent, but that we also provide a service that is person-centred, prevention-focused, and forward-thinking.
