The Board considered a report from the Strategic Director – People, which presented the final draft of the Rough Sleeper Strategy for Halton and the local Bond Guarantee Scheme Policy, and requested approval for the publication of each document.

The Board noted that both documents fell under the remit of the Housing Solutions Team and had been developed in response to Government guidelines and policy, taking into account the impact of Covid-19 and duties of the local authority.  They formed part of a suite of policy and strategy in place to support the Council’s objectives in reducing homelessness and rough sleeping.

The report outlined the priority areas for each Strategy and gave some financial information for the costings for each.

RESOLVED:  That Executive Board

1)    notes the contents of the report and appendices; and

2)    approves the publication of both documents.
