Homewards Aberdeen Coalition

Roles and Responsibilities

As part of the city’s ongoing efforts to enact change and reduce homelessness locally, Aberdeen is delighted to be one of the six flagship locations of Homewards, a five-year locally led programme launched by Prince William and The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Through Homewards, Aberdeen is being supported over the next five years to create a coalition of committed people and organisations from private, public and voluntary sectors who will work together to create and deliver an action plan, as well as an Innovative Housing Project that aims to unlock homes at scale.

The Homewards Aberdeen coalition will work in collaboration with existing programmes and working groups and will enhance ongoing work rather than duplicate it.

It will also be given the space, tools and expertise to focus on preventing homelessness in all its forms, and put Aberdeen on a trajectory to ending it, making it rare, brief and unrepeated.
