Homelessness. Levels of homelessness have increased since 2001 with the number of applicants to the Council doubling. In 2006-7 over 2,000 households approached the Council for help; almost one third had been homeless before and 1,000 households were temporarily accommodated. The continuing high levels of homelessness are due to a combination of factors including lack of affordable housing (with improvement indicators included in National Outcome 10) and increased legal duties. There are challenges in relation to both finding suitable temporary accommodation for homeless people and securing permanent housing solutions.
Homelessness a. Provide Rapid Re-housing services & financial supports b. Homeless supports and prevention
Homelessness. There has been a 61% increase in homeless presentations over the period 2002-2003 to 2007- 08 and this is exacerbating pressures on the available supply of affordable housing. A new Homelessness Strategy for the period 2008-13 has recently been approved with the vision that by 2012, no one in the Falkirk Council area need be homeless. A key element of the strategy will be helping local people explore a range of housing options that are available locally. It has been calculated that over the 10 year period 2007-2016, there will be an annual average shortfall of 145 units of affordable housing. In this context the Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) and the new Local Housing Strategy, which is being developed, will seek to increase the amount of affordable housing available in the area, including low cost home ownership and shared ownership opportunities, as well as affordable rented housing.
