Renfrewshire Council’s Homelessness Strategy gives an assessment of our current position in relation to homelessness and lays out a vision for the future. It details how we, together with our partners, will make sure that homelessness services develop in line with the needs and aspirations of local people. We are currently in the process of developing a new Homelessness Stategy for 2008-2013.
Our Local Outcome Agreement outlines the spending on homelessness. It reflects the actions identified in the Homelessness Strategy.
