Homeless Link Annual Conference
CONNECTING WITH COMMUNITIES
Local Solutions: National Impact
9-10 July 2008. University of Warwick
In a rapidly evolving political climate, hear from the country’s leading political speakers on homelessness and housing, Iain Wright MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Communities and Local Government, and Grant Shapps MP, Shadow Minister for Housing, on their vision for the future of homelessness services, how they are commissioned and the relationship with the local community.
This conference pays tribute to the community spirit of the homelessness sector and sets out the future political agenda.
Highlights:
- be the first to find out about the government’s new rough sleeping strategy - including feedback from the consultation, the impact that the new strategy will have on Local Authorities and when and how it will be implemented
- the future of commissioning - as Local Area Agreements become the joining up point for new community initiatives, hear from the CLG on their plans for LAAs and Supporting People funding; and from one of the pathfinders on how they are managing the commissioning process
- the impact of the Empowerment White Paper - a report from BASSAC, the national network of community based organisations, on the effect it will have on the way services are commissioned
- the international perspective - a highly regarded speaker, JoAnne Page from the Fortune Society in New York: “Inspirational, her model was clear, her commitment to their vision was exceptional and I appreciated the honesty and integrity with which she discussed their experiences.” Making the extraordinary ordinary conference, April 2008, London
