has published a milestone report addressing women’s in Newport.
The Welsh city is one of the initiative’s six flagship locations that each focus on key areas to demonstrate it is possible to end homelessness.
The Homewards Newport Coalition identified that women with multiple disadvantages are a priority cohort in and advised that the first step in delivering change for this group would be to undertake a Newport Women’s Homelessness Joint Strategic Needs Assessment [JSNA].
The report has looked at the current and future health and care needs of local women and set out opportunities and recommendations for preventing women from experiencing homelessness in Newport.
It will be a key tool for supporting action planning in shaping effective local policies and the best forms of intervention to improve the lives of women in Newport.
