Accordion Housing
The impact of homelessness is broad and far reaching. The right home is an important factor in a person’s health and wellbeing. Good housing helps a person manage their health, sustain a job, care for their family and contribute to their community. National policy has also changed, most significantly through the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.
As a result, Barnet has produced a Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy to take account of major changes in the housing sector and legislative changes, including the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017, with the following themes of:
- preventing homelessness
- reducing the use of temporary accommodation and securing accommodation for people who are homeless
- establishing effective partnerships, working arrangements and support to those who are or used to be homeless, to improve their resilience and reduce the risk of them from becoming homeless again
- supporting rough sleepers to address their housing and other needs
The Housing and Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategies contributes to corporate plan
- increasing supply to ensure greater housing choice for residents
- delivering new affordable housing, including new homes on council owned land

Housing strategy
The council has developed a new Housing Strategy. This accounts for major changes in the housing sector, wider demographic and economic changes. This includes rising housing costs, a shift from owner occupation to private renting, the impact of the Grenfell Tower disaster and legal changes.
This creates a number of challenges and opportunities addressed in the themes of the council’s new Housing Strategy
