Homeless households

Published On: 16th June 2025

The Government is failing to tackle homelessness according to a cross-party Housing, Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Committee which had issued a set of recommendations in April, as on their website here.

The committee criticised in their latest report the response they received from the Government on 29th May. Florence Eshalomi MP, chair of the committee said “It is disappointing the Government is willing only to commit to ‘later this year’ for publication of their strategy. The Committee’s recommendation for the Government to provide an update on the work of the Inter-Ministerial Group on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping has also been rejected.”

( https://www.londonforum.org.uk/events/are-londons-high-streets-and-town-centres-in-crisis/?occurrence=2026-03-26#booking ) London’s town centres have had a challenging decade – changing planning policies, growing on-line sales, COVID, vacant shops and rising costs. They are in transition, but are they going in the right direction? How can we maintain their vitality?…
