• Identify challenges associated with ensuring housing support is given appropriate consideration within local housing strategies

Outline

The event will involve presentations from the Scottish Government, from a local authority and from housing support providers. The event will also involve delegates in discussion groups around key topics with an opportunity for everyone to post comments and questions on a discussion board. A record of key points and comments will be created and circulated afterwards.
