Homelessness APPG

First Registered: 28/04/2016 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG brings together parliamentarians to scrutinise and make recommendations for ending homelessness. Its purpose is to put tackling homelessness at the top of the political agenda and its mission is to help the government deliver an end to all forms of homelessness.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
