1. Before reading this policy, I was aware of the services Sandwell Council provide to support tenancy sustainment
2. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the purpose of the Tenancy Sustainment Policy?

The Tenancy Sustainment Policy details Sandwell Council’s approach for helping residents effectively manage and maintain their council tenancies. It establishes frameworks to identify vulnerable households, provide support for those facing difficulties, and connect them with a variety of advocacy services offering advice and assistance. The policy also seeks to prevent homelessness and reduce the likelihood of tenancy breakdowns, such as abandonment, eviction, or early termination.
