The Homelessness Reduction Act, in operation for the past
12 months, is potentially the greatest piece of homelessness legislation for 40
years in England, according to Southwark council in south London. The
Labour-run council pioneered the government’s new flagship act, and is upbeat

London, the rise was less steep than expected: 8.6% for families placed in
temporary accommodation and a similarly small increase for rough sleepers. At
the same time, there was also a 50% increase in the number of people the
council helped to stay in their home. Read more on the Guardian website.
