Here’s some extra help with your housing, homelessness, tenancy or other housing strategy.
For those of you who have attended the previous four workshops, this additional session focuses on delivery – how to ensure your strategy makes a difference, and how to take forward the identified actions by ensuring they get embedded into work plans – whether that’s your own, other parts of your organisation, or partners.
We’ll start with a brief refresher and update – which government policies and strategies need to be taken into account, what census information is now available and how to use it, what other useful information is out there? Then we’ll move on to look at where you are now, what barriers and challenges there are to delivering your strategy, and how to make the whole process manageable.

- Data update – census and more
- Barriers and challenges
