NPSS is synonymous with the Gold Standard programme; a review scheme designed to support councils deliver more efficient and cost effective homelessness prevention services.
The Gold Standard begins with councils participating in a practitioner review of their frontline homelessness service
in preparation for applying for each of the 10 Local Challenges.
By achieving the 10 Local Challenges, local authorities are able to demonstrate that they have in place a comprehensive prevention focused service for all customers.
