Derbyshire Homeless Watch
The Derbyshire Homeless Watch Survey 2009 was the second annual survey of homelessness to take place in Derbyshire. For two weeks the survey was used to record details of everyone who presented as homeless to participating agencies in the County, including DerbyCity, from Monday 28th September to Sunday 11th October 2009. Homeless Watch surveys have been conducted in
Nottinghamshire over the last five years and are a key source of information about Homelessness in the County. Last year,
Northamptonshire also took part in Homeless Watch for the first time.
