Abstract

This report reviews the nature and extent of homelessness in West Dorset District Council (WDDC). In particular it focuses on: • exploring current levels of homelessness; • identifying the causes of homelessness within the local authority area; • gauging current service provision for homeless people/households; • identifying gaps in the provision of current services. In an attempt to reflect the local authority’s desire to develop a more proactive and preventative approach in addressing housing need, this report identifies a number of strategies that it may wish to adopt to ensure that this particular aspect of housing need is tackled effectively.
