Nottingham City Homelessness Strategy 2008-13
The 2008-13 Homelessness Strategy was approved by Nottingham City Council Executive Board on 22nd July 2008. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all partners including service users for their invaluable assistance in developing the Strategy. We believe that the strategy will provide the framework by which partners can build on recent successes in alleviating and addressing homelessness, in particular, the further development of preventative provision. A PDF version of the strategy will now be produced and will be available on the website for download shortly. Please click on the links below to view the Strategy:

Nottingham City Homelessness Review 2007
The Nottingham City Homelessness Review 2007 is intended to provide as complete a picture as possible of the extent and nature of homelessness in Nottingham. The review which is an integral part of the development of the 2008-13 Homelessness Strategy has been produced in accordance with guidelines set out in the Homelessness Act 2002.
The development of the Homelessness Review was overseen by a steering group of the multi-agency Homelessness Strategy Implementation Group (SIG). The steering group have provided advice and assistance to officers from the Nottingham City Council Housing Support Strategy team regarding:
- Collection and analysis of statistical information.
- Consultation with stakeholders and services users regarding current position of provision, gaps and future demand.
The 2007 Homelessness Review will provide the evidence base for establishing priorities for the 2008 -13 Homelessness Strategy, within the context of national, regional and local policy drivers and initiatives.
Stakeholders' feedback taken from the Homelessness Review Event held on the 11th September 2007 can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.
As part of the Homeless Review, a questionnaire was circulated to users of homelessness services in Nottingham to find out their views on the services they have received, and also what they think could have helped prevent them from becoming homeless.

Homeless Families and Domestic Violence Review
A review of the homeless families and domestic violence section of the 2003-8 Homelessness Strategy has now been completed. The review evaluates the HF & DV section of the strategy to ascertain whether the actions it contains have been achieved and whether they are still relevant, and examines whether the original strategy still reflects current priorities within the homelessness sector and is in line with wider stategic thinking.

Barriers to Move-On Survey
The barriers to move on surveys are a snapshot of the barriers preventing residents of Supporting People funded short term accommodation from moving on positively to unsupported accommodation. Two surveys have been conducted: the first details the barriers present among residents in direct access accommodation (conducted on the 15th October 2006); the second details the barriers present among those in second stage accommodation (conducted on the 3rd December 2006). A further survey of both direct access and second stage accommodation condcuted on the 19th January 2008 is due to be posted on this website in August 2008.
