A homeless man A FORMER rough sleeper has started the New Year by moving into his own flat in southern Oxfordshire. Six new long-term homes have been provided for people who were living on the streets following the success of a nearly £100,000 pilot project called ‘Housing First’. It is run by South Oxfordshire District Council and Didcot-based not-for-profit Soha Housing in partnership with the homeless charity Aspire. Housing First offers former rough sleepers with complex needs the opportunity to be quickly rehoused into suitable accommodation where they receive intensive and long-term support provided by the non-profit organisation. This is different from the traditional ‘pathway approach offered to rough sleepers.
Green city councillor Craig Simmons said the Lib Dems message was ‘misguided and unhelpful’. He added: “We all need to take personal and collective responsibility for complying with Covid rules and that may involve having a gentle word with your neighbours, work colleagues and local businesses. And, if that is not effective and they continue to ignore the law and putting others at risk, then it is perfectly reasonable to report their behaviour.” Michelle Mead, the Conservative leader of West Oxfordshire District Council, and TOry group leaders Jane Murphy (SODC) and Simon Howell (Vale) also said enforcement was an important part of the rules.
