(1)          That the information provided within the report to remodel and procure accommodation and support services for single homeless people and rough sleepers be noted;

(2)          That the commissioning and procurement plans from October 2016 should be aligned with priorities within the Rough Sleeping Strategy 2016, the Council’s Housing Strategy 2015, the Homelessness Strategy 2014-19,and the Council’s priorities for the integration of social care and health through Better care;

(3)          That ASC Commissioning be delegated authority to review the infrastructure, including the working groups that support services for single homeless people  and related strategies;
