Have your say on Great Yarmouth's homeless strategy

The borough council has announced the release of its draft of the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy for 2023-2028 and is now asking for feedback.

The strategy aims to prevent homelessness in the borough by ensuring enough accommodation is available for people who are or may become homeless, as well as providing adequate services to support people who are or may become homeless or who have been homeless and in need of support to prevent them becoming homeless again.
