Everyone deserves somewhere safe to call home.
The commitment to offer everyone sleeping rough a route off the streets by Christmas is an ambition we very much welcome.
But we also know that homelessness is rarely solved by providing a bed alone.
Many of the people we support have experienced trauma, poor mental health, substance use and years of instability. Alongside somewhere safe to live, people need the right support, relationships and time to rebuild their lives.
We look forward to working alongside councils, health services, housing providers, charities and communities to help make sure this ambition creates lasting change β not just for Christmas, but for the future.
Rough sleepers in England will be offered housing, in a move likened to the βEveryone Inβ initiative during the pandemic.
