Detail of outcome
This consultation was conducted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic
and sought views on structures that support partnership working
and accountability in homelessness services. Our work to support
people off the streets and protect the most vulnerable from
COVID-19 delivered a step change in partnership working and
demonstrated the powerful impact that we can have when
government, local government, and the voluntary and community
sector work together with health and housing partners.
We have brought forward a bold, new strategy to end rough
sleeping which sets out how we will build on this
success to end rough sleeping for good, through continued working
with partners across government departments, local authorities
and the voluntary sector, and so will not be responding
separately to this consultation.
Original consultation Summary

Consultation description
A consultation on structures that support partnership working and
accountability in homelessness services.
We are seeking views on:
- the effectiveness of existing non-statutory and statutory
local accountability and partnership structures in homelessness
services
- whether the government should introduce Homelessness
Reduction Boards and, if so, how this could be done most
effectively
- how else we might improve local accountability and
partnership working in homelessness services
