A joint-campaign is calling on all political parties to
publish a plan in their first year of government to end all forms of
homelessness. The #EndHomelessness campaign, supported by Crisis, Shelter, Centrepoint,
St Mungo’s, Homeless Link, and Depaul UK, outlines a series of commitments
that, put in place, can set to end rough sleeping in the UK. These include:
·
Improving access to truly affordable housing, by
building at least 90,000 social homes a year over the next five years, and
improving security for tenants in the private rented sector
·
Strengthening support through the welfare
system, through housing benefit that covers the cost of rent and fixing
Universal Credit so that it doesn’t push people into homelessness
