Westmorland and Furness Council is inviting people who live and work in the area to give their views on its draft Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy.

The draft strategy outlines how Westmorland and Furness Council and its partners will tackle homelessness between 2024 and 2029, to make sure people get the right support at the earliest opportunity to prevent the loss of their accommodation or access alternative accommodation where this is not possible.

Please download and use this template to submit your comments, and then email your response to the address below or return the hard copy to one of the buildings listed.
