Homelessness

The Government must take a ‘two-pronged’ approach to get people off the streets and ensure vulnerable tenants do not end up on them, a report says.

Some 14,000 emergency beds for rough sleepers and 3,000 support staff roles will be funded as part of a three-year initiative.

Former rough sleepers, in Newcastle, are thriving in the UK's first complex to be transformed from a traditional hostel into self-contained apartments.
