The Government’s response to a report by MPs urging it to publish a strategy for ending homelessness was ‘disappointingly lacking in detail,’ committee chair says.
In April, the Housing, Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Committee published a report on children in temporary accommodation calling on the Government to publish its strategy on ending homelessness by July 2025.
In response, the Government said it would publish the strategy ‘later this year’.
Committee chair Florence Eshalomi said: ‘Given the urgency of the issue, and the need to involve homelessness organisations and local authorities in tackling the temporary accommodation crisis, it is disappointing the Government is only willing to commit to “later this year” for publication of the strategy.’
