THREAD: Today the Government publishes its rough sleeping strategy which includes some important measures to help those in immediate need on the streets. However, it falls short addressing the root causes of rough sleeping. (1/5)
If we're to end rough the problem by 2027, we urgently need to see enough social homes built for those on the lowest incomes and those experiencing homelessness. (2/5)
We also need to see housing benefit that covers the cost of renting. Thousands of people across the country are unable to keep up with rising rents. Some end up on friend's sofas or in temporary accommodation. Many end up on the streets. (3/5)
Ultimately, to end rough sleeping the Government must commit to ending all forms of homelessness. Earlier this year we published a plan that sets out how, with the right policies and investment, we can end homelessness within 10 years. (4/5)
