The Jersey Homelessness Strategic Board has published its first Strategy. This has been the culmination of over a year of active engagement by the members of the Board and Homelessness Cluster working with the Board’s specialist housing consultant, Wendy Dearden of Arc4.
The Homelessness Strategy has been informed by recommendations of the review and consultations undertaken with all partners and stakeholders. The Strategy identifies 7 key areas that need attention if Jersey wants to eradicate homelessness. The very first is to understand and define homelessness by providing a definition enabling data to be collated to inform good policy decisions.
