The committee is being asked to comment on the proposed priorities and commitments as the council prepares to adopt a new homelessness and rough sleeping strategy for 2025-30.
Improving the options for temporary housing by improving both the quality and supply of temporary homes, supporting people in temporary housing and improving the move into settled housing.
Council data released to the Local Democracy Reporting Service showed that between January and June this year, 1,023 households were assessed as homeless and needing council support.
The main ones are the rough sleeping prevention and recovery grant (RSPARG) and the homelessness prevention grant (HPG).
Rough sleeping has also been increasing, with the city ranked 19th joint highest for rough sleeping in England, at 30 per 100,000 people.
