RESOLVED: That the update be noted.
The Housing & Preventions Service Manager provided a monthly update to the Committee on the homelessness statistics across the County including out of County placements as per the report (agenda item 6). In response to concerns raised around the opening hours of Connect Centres and the impact this would have on people wanting to present as homeless in person, it was suggested that information on how many people present as homeless at the Connects Centre be collated and that a request on whether quarterly update reports showing this information, which used to be provided, could be provided again. RESOLVED: That the update be noted.
