Decision details
Housing Services Reconnection Policy
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Homes and Planning
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The policy aims to help rough sleepers off the streets quickly. It sets out how we reconnect rough sleepers without a local connection by helping them to return home with an offer of accommodation and support. Rough sleepers with a connection to Bath and North East Somerset are helped to find housing and support within our district.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agreed that the revised Housing Services Reconnection Policy is adopted.
Reasons for the decision:
The rationale of amending the existing policy is to reduce rough sleeping in the district and limit access to local resources for rough sleepers with a local connection elsewhere.
Alternative options considered:
None.
