The City of Cape Town is reaching out to the public for input on its new draft strategy aimed at addressing rough sleeping and homelessness in the city.
This proposed strategy will replace the existing Street People Policy and aims to expand interventions and collaboration with various stakeholders to tackle this complex issue.
Since the introduction of the Street People Policy in 2013, the City has launched numerous programmes to support those sleeping rough, including access to social services, reintegration programs, personal development plans, short-term work opportunities and facilitating access to identity documents and social grants.
‘Rough sleeping is a complex issue exacerbated by the pandemic and economic impacts. This draft strategy is an opportunity for everyone to contribute and help us develop a blueprint that addresses the underlying risks contributing to rough sleeping,’ she said.
