Themes and priorities
The actions contained in the delivery plan all aim to ensure we are delivering the vision in the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy and are linked to our identified themes and priorities.
In producing this delivery plan we recognise that is produced at a point in time based on the knowledge, feedback and evidence used in producing the strategy and this associated action plan. For this reason we will remain fluid in how we achieve the ambitions of the strategy. If new intelligence or findings come to use we will respond and if an action committed to becomes redundant we will not pursue for the sole reason that its contained in this plan.
1. Early intervention and prevention
We believe that everyone in Coventry should have a place to call home. We will minimise homelessness by focusing on early prevention and intervention to help people keep their home or to move in a planned way.
2. Targeted and crisis support:
We will provide good quality accessible advice and support to ensure people can resolve their housing problems in a way that is long lasting. Where people do find themselves homeless and in need of emergency accommodation it will be of good quality, appropriate and conducive to their health and well-being. Targeted support will be provided for individuals and households who find themselves in crisis;
3. Move on and Sustainment
There will be a focus on creating and increasing move on options for people and ensuring the right tools and support are in place to help people sustain tenancies once their homelessness has ended. Our focus will not just be in terms of bricks and mortar but will also consider and reflect the wider social detriments that impact someone’s ability to secure and maintain a settled home.
