Homeless Directory

Daventry District Council and South Northamptonshire Council have worked together to compile this comprehensive Homelessness Services Directory. It contains the contact details for all the relevant agencies that can offer advice and assistance to people who are or maybe homeless

The Homelessness Strategy 2008-13 sets out Daventry District Council's strategic approach to preventing homelessness and what our aims and objectives are.  The strategy was produced following a Review of Homelessness Services and consultation with stakeholders, including people who use homelessness services in the district.  The strategy focuses on:

• Preventing Homelessness

• Ensuring that there is sufficient accommodation

• Providing support services that are meeting needs
