Homes, Support, Prevention: Our Foundations For Ending Homelessness

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Ending Homelessness (APPGEH) has launched this report, funded by Crisis, setting out how the UK Government’s forthcoming cross-departmental strategy can end homelessness for good.

The APPGEH report comes against a backdrop of rising numbers of people forced to sleep rough and more than 130,000 households, including nearly 170,000 children, experiencing temporary accommodation. It identifies three key pillars that must sit at the heart of any national approach:

• Homes – Rapidly rehousing people in safe, settled, and genuinely affordable homes.
• Support – Improving support for people experiencing the most acute forms of homelessness.
• Prevention – Preventing homelessness wherever possible across public services.
