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. 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.

Homelessness. More than 105,000 people are homeless on any given night. All jurisdictions include homelessness—in one way or another—among the priority access criteria for public housing. However, despite eligibility for priority access, people experiencing homelessness are still experiencing unacceptable delays in accessing housing. Only 4,500 people who were homeless were given priority access to public housing in 2006‐07. 20 The causes of homelessness are complex and include domestic and family violence, mental illness, alcohol and drug problems, unemployment and poverty. Lack of access to affordable, secure housing is one of the structural causes of homelessness. Housing un‐affordability also acts as a financial stressor which can contribute to family conflict and breakdown and thereby increase the risk of homelessness. Public and non‐profit housing plays a vital role in meeting the housing needs of low to moderate income Australians for whom other housing options are unaffordable or unable to meet specific needs. The role that public and non‐profit housing can play in reducing homelessness falls into three broad areas: • preventing homelessness by providing and managing secure and affordable housing; • responding to homelessness by acting as an exit point for people leaving supported accommodation services or a housing crisis; and • providing an immediate, secure housing option which can be complemented by support services, or where access to secure housing will avoid a crisis. Public and non‐profit housing also has a critical role to play in preventing homelessness by meeting the housing needs of some of the most vulnerable members of the community, including people leaving prison, exiting state care or mental health facilities, or escaping domestic violence. An adequate supply of public and non‐profit housing is essential to ensuring that people experiencing or at risk of homelessness are immediately housed in appropriate and secure housing. Without stable housing, it is virtually impossible to address mental health, drug and alcohol and employment issues. Health and social support services are likely to achieve much better outcomes if clients can access appropriate housing. Further, without permanent, secure accommodation, people may remain in prolonged states of homelessness, posing serious risks to physical and mental health and placing an enormous demand on crisis accommodation services and other health and social support services. In this way, health and soc...

Homelessness. The project team will examine alternative means for handling many non-emergency calls involving homelessness-related issues, such as individuals camped out on the sidewalk, panhandling, loitering, and other issues. Alternatives include specialized non-sworn units, outside city department/work group, and community-based organizations. Departments across the country have developed approaches to handle minor, non-emergency calls for service that do not require a badge and a gun, by instead sending a civilian call responder respond in place of a sworn officer. The project team will examine opportunities to implement these approaches, the scope of calls that could be handled by civilian call responders, and use analytics to determine workload, staffing needs, and deployment
