Influencing local authorities on accommodation | The Greater Manchester Homelessness Prevention Strategy

The voluntary sector working in criminal justice has extensive knowledge and experience that is a vital tool for effectively advocating and bringing about tangible changes in the criminal justice system.

This case study compliments an online recording of an expert seminar delivered by Sarah Paul; Homelessness Prevention Lead for Greater Manchester Probation and Joe Donohue, Homelessness Strategy Principal at Greater Manchester Combined Authority. Both discuss their respective roles working with local authorities to improve accommodation provision for people leaving prison.

This work is part of Clinks’ Stronger voice project, a three-year project which aims to help the voluntary sector working in criminal justice develop a unified and influential voice, at both a national and regional level. The project is funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales, as part of their wider Criminal Justice Grant Programme. For more information about the programme please click here.
