We call on the new government to:
Act on supported housing
Drive up standards across the supported housing sector by ensuring all providers make the experiences of the people they support their primary priority.
Create more affordable homes
Build more social rent accommodation for people on lower incomes, to tackle many of the root causes of homelessness.
Take a cross-government approach
Set up a systems wide task force to end homelessness that brings together a range of relevant departments beyond housing alone.
Invest for the long term
Commit to longer term homelessness funding that focuses on prevention, not just temporary solutions.
On the ground consultation
Engage people with lived experience of homelessness and enable local insights to drive national solutions.
No-one criminalised for being homeless
Deliver compassionate support not cruel powers that criminalise people who are homeless.
