Please join the Mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street, and Cllr Sharon Thompson Chair of the WMCA Homelessness Taskforce Members Advisory Group, on the 28th July 2021 to launch our new Commitment to Collaborate (C2C) to Prevent and Relieve Homelessness Toolkit.

The toolkit has been developed by the WMCA Homelessness Taskforce in partnership with Birmingham Voluntary Service Council (BVSC) to support organisations and networks across the region to think about what actions they can take to prevent and relieve homelessness.

The toolkit provides an overview of homelessness in its widest sense and has been designed to help organisations and partnerships work through possible changes that they can make to prevent homelessness at the earliest opportunity, including when the presenting issue is not identified as having an obvious link to homelessness.

The toolkit will take you through a step by step approach to identifying what the issues and gaps are for the people you work with and how you can help to tackle those issues and gaps.

The toolkit can be used cross sector - you do not have to be a specialist housing or homelessness organisation to use this toolkit or to make a contribution to preventing homelessness.

We hope that you will be able to join us.

Please register here and you will receive a Microsoft Teams link prior to the event.
