Homelessness and Sleeping Rough
(asked on 9th December 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of (a) homelessness and (b) rough sleeping.
This question was answered on 15th December 2014
Homelessness is lower now than in 27 of the last 30 years. We have seen a 38% decrease in the number of families in Bed and Breakfast over six weeks since this time last year.
This Government has supported innovation through roll-out of No Second Night Out and Streetlink which means rough sleepers are being found quicker and given the help they need to get them off the streets.
