The draft Homelessness Strategy aims to:
- ensure that all residents of Rutland have access to information and advice on housing
- prevent homelessness wherever possible adopting a spend to save approach
- seek to ensure sufficient permanent and temporary housing supply to meet the needs of households who are, or are at risk of, becoming homeless.
