The Homelessness Strategic Board is seeking views on the overarching priorities and recommendations within the draft strategy. We’re interested in hearing from a wide range of partners, including members of the public, statutory partners and representatives from the community and voluntary sector.
To give your views on the draft strategy, please visit Ask Warwickshire and search for Draft Warwickshire Homelessness Strategy (www.warwickshire.gov.uk/ask).
The strategy engagement period will be from the 5th of October, until the 1st of November. Should you have any specific queries, please contact emilyfernandez@warwickshire.gov.uk.
The Homelessness Strategic Board is aiming to publish the final strategy in Spring 2021.
