Ending Homelessness

A project to increase the amount of much-needed short stay accommodation in the Chichester District is already making a real difference to the lives of local people facing homelessness.
 

Chichester’s local vaccination centre has now moved from the Westgate Leisure Centre to a new purpose-built facility in the Northgate car park. Since it opened in mid-February the centre has delivered over 122,000 vaccine doses to local people.

Chichester District Council has successfully bid for a further £323,000 of Government funding to help those facing homelessness in the district.

Work has begun to redevelop Chichester District Council’s existing temporary accommodation to provide an additional 17 flats for people who are homeless in the Chichester District.

More people in Chichester District will be supported thanks to improvements to the district council’s Homelessness Prevention and Relief Policy.

A £60,000 government grant will be used to help keep rough sleepers off the streets in Chichester District during the continuing pandemic and also help a local charity extend their support for rough sleepers.

People across Chichester District are being urged to ‘make their change count’ and help bring about lasting change to the lives of rough sleepers.

Leading councillors for Chichester District have approved funding for two organisations to support projects that will help reduce homelessness and rough sleeping in the district.

A project to increase the amount of much-needed short stay accommodation for people facing homelessness has reached its next key milestone with the selection of an appointed contractor.

Support will give local areas the tools and funding they need to protect people from life-threatening cold weather and the risks posed by coronavirus.
