London-Middlesex Homeless Prevention and Housing Plan Survey

About the London-Middlesex Homeless Prevention and Housing Plan

The City of London Housing Stability Action Plan 2019 – 2024 and Middlesex County Homeless Prevention and Housing Plan 2019 – 2024 are being reviewed in 2024. Under the Housing Services Act, 2011, Service Managers are required to review their homeless prevention and housing plans every five years. Local plans must extend for a period of 10 years after the review.

The Purpose of the Review

The purpose of the review process is to ensure the County of Middlesex and the City of London have a transformational community plan that strategically informs homeless prevention and housing over the next ten years. The review is an opportunity for the County of Middlesex and the City of London to identify local community needs to be addressed.
