Decision:
In fulfilling our aspirations and support for care leavers, we are seeking Cabinet support to enable the Council to implement the recommendations of the Pan London Housing Compact. To achieve this, officers are recommending that Cabinet:
1. Adopts the guiding principle that care leavers up to the age of 25 should, if possible, be found as being in ‘priority need’ under homelessness legislation;
2. Adopts the guiding principle that, if possible, no care leaver up to the age of 25 should be found ‘intentionally homeless’.
