Shapps: Stop Hindering Help for the Homeless with Bureaucracy

Speaking on a visit to St Basil's, the national Registered Social Landlord Centre of Excellence in the prevention of youth homelessness and one of the largest agencies in the country, Grant Shapps "When the people who run one of the top agencies in the country for preventing youth homelessness say the current system to manage them is a burden, it's time to listen. "Let's make no mistake - it's vital that these centres are well run. But rather than civil servants in Whitehall inventing new bureaucratic hoops to jump through, why don't we listen to the experts on the ground. So in future there will be more trust and less bureaucracy, and a much more sensible and systematic way to maintain standards." Read more on the CLG website.
