Three Quarters of MPs Contacted By Homeless People with Nowhere Left to Turn

Survey findings show that three quarters of MPs have been contacted by single homeless people turned away from help by their council. The survey also reveals that only 15% of MPs think single homeless people get enough help from their council, while nearly two thirds think councils should have a duty to do more to prevent homelessness. More than three quarters of MPs think homelessness should be a priority for the government. Drawing on the findings, Crisis is urging MPs and members of the public to back its No One Turned Away campaign, which calls for political action so that all homeless people can get the help they need.
