The government will support the Homelessness Reduction
Bill, the communities secretary has announced. Sajid Javid has confirmed
ministers will back the bill, which would impose duties on councils to prevent homelessness.
Ministers had previously said they would consider options, including
legislation, to prevent homelessness but until today had stopped short of
supporting the bill. The bill, tabled by Conservative backbench MP Bob
Blackman, has been supported by homelessness charities. It is made up of 12
measures. Read more on the CLG website.
