David Trewick

David has worked in the homelessness sector for over 17 years dealing with local authority homelessness decisions and reviews. Since 2016, he has delivered training to local authorities and supporting organisations in the area of homelessness and allocations. His primary expertise is around the Housing Act 1996 and the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. Working as a homelessness prevention officer established David’s interest in homelessness prevention, finding ways to negotiate solutions with excluders and assist people into new homes. A new management role in 2016 led to responsibility ensuring compliance with the legislation as well as creating new strategies for homelessness prevention and relief.
