Homelessness forum

 
In 2004 the Council commissioned Shelter to carry out an independent review of our homelessness services.

The Homelessness Forum was then set up so that agencies who work with homeless people in the borough can meet to find out what's happening with the service review. It gives them the opportunity to have an input into developing the service, they also exchange information about the services they each provide. 

Agencies involved include:

What happens at the forum?

The Forum meets quarterly to:

  • exchange information with other agencies
  • find out about services in the borough
  • be involved in improving homelessness services in Greenwich
  • share best practice
  • find out about available resources
  • raise awareness of homeless issues.

What does the forum aim to achieve?

The Council's vision is to develop modern, accessible services for homeless people that will integrate support, options and prevention into the application and assessment process. The aim is to reduce the number of homeless applicants and incidents of repeat homelessness, and to reduce the need for temporary and emergency accommodation.

The group is encouraging homeless and previously homeless people to get involved.
