Norfolk councils launch joint strategy to stop homelessness by 2030

Broadland District Council and South Norfolk Council have set out a joint strategy to stop homelessness by 2030. 

The new Homelessness and Rough Sleeper Strategy (2025-2030) aims to bring an end to rough sleeping and make sure everyone has a safe place to live. 

South Norfolk Councillor Graham Minshull, said: “The reality of the housing crisis means we must adapt and escalate our efforts. 

“Our new strategy acknowledges that no single action will solve this issue, but a collective, collaborative response, involving our customers and partner organisations can make a definitive change.”

The Strategy focuses on prevention, access to temporary and supported accommodation, long-term housing solutions and stronger partnerships. 

Part of the plan is to buy more council-owned temporary accommodation to avoid expensive bed and breakfast stays. 

The councils aim to provide 70 extra units in Broadland and 81 in South Norfolk by March 2026.
