(KEY DECISION)
REASONS FOR
DECISION:
The County Council has a statutory duty to take appropriate
steps to improve the health of people living in Leicestershire. This includes
the provision of health improvement information, advice and support services
aimed at preventing illness. Consultation with stakeholders will help inform
the revised model. Being homeless has significant negative impacts on both
physical and mental health and so the health of the homeless people is a
priority area for public health.
The Medium Term Financial Strategy includes a savings target of £3.1m by 2020/21across a number of contracts as part of the Early Help and Prevention Review (EHAP). Expenditure on homelessness support has been included in the Review and any savings realised from the current offer will contribute to the EHAP savings target.
