About

This Forum is concerned with the statutory homelessness functions of local authorities. As such, it will mainly be concerned with Housing Options and homelessness prevention, the assessment and investigation of homeless presentations, the provision of temporary accommodation, the permanent rehousing of homeless households and supporting them to sustain their new homes. 

This community of practice is primarily for LA members. As a member, you can expect to have the opportunity to meet quarterly, access to a dedicated online discussion forum, data dashboards, guidance documents and other publications.
