Homelessness services
Richmond upon Thames Council is addressing a projected budget overspend in homelessness services due to high demand.
Richmond upon Thames Council's Adult Social Care services are facing a projected budget overspend of £0.514 million for the first quarter of the 2026-27 financial year. A report to the Adult Social Services, Health and Housing Committee in September 2026 detailed that this deficit is primarily driven by demand-led pressures, specifically high demand for housing and temporary accommodation related to homelessness.
No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled where homelessness services are on the agenda. These services are provided by councils to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, including support for those in temporary accommodation and addressing housing needs.
