Monitoring Rough Sleepers
Welsh local authorities were expected to undertake a one night count of rough sleeping in March 2007 and March 2008. This expectation has been removed for 2009, although this decision is being kept under review. Local authoriteis are now expected to decide locally the best way of monitoring rough sleeping in their area. This guide is seen as having a role in supporting local authorities to do this and aims to:-
- provide guidance on methods of continuous monitoring of rough sleeping applicable to and useable by local authorities and thier partner agencies
- provide details of various methods by which information can be gathered on an ongoing basis on the incidence of rough sleeping and on the characteristics and needs of people sleeping rough
- be a resource for use by local authorities and agencies working to address rough sleeping
- assist local authorities to meet the requirements of the Ten Year Homelessness Plan and the Code of Guidance on Allocations and Homelessness on continuous monitoring of rough sleeping
