COUNCIL chiefs believe the number of homeless families forced to live in B&Bs in Sandwell will be zero by April. The halt is a major step after numbers peaked at 126 households in emergency accommodation – 73 of which were in guesthouses – 18 months ago. Cllr Keith Allcock, cabinet member for homes, said Sandwell’s success was due to the council intervening at an early stage to prevent families ending up on the streets. “Our Housing Solutions Service has been working hard to support people who are at risk of or already homeless,” he said. He added: “The service has been prioritising the prevention of homelessness and to work with people facing homelessness as soon as possible to try and help them remain in their current home.”

The council said it wants to buy properties including new build homes to help reduce the impact of poverty, improve lives and help children and families reach their full potential. These purchases will help meet demand for affordable housing in Sandwell, adding to the significant number of new homes that are being constructed through the council s new build programme. The move could be good news for homeowners in Cradley Heath, Old Hill, Rowley Regis or Oldbury who are looking to sell their properties.
