A number of the government's policies are unnecessarily
increasing homelessness, a study has revealed. Commonweal Housing' report -
‘Rough Justice: uncovering social policies that create homelessness’ - claims
that homelessness and the threat of becoming homeless is a much wider problem
than the government's figures of 2,414 rough sleepers suggests. Featuring
contributions from eight sector experts, the report draws attention to the
severity of the problem - and challenges the government to recognise the
policies that Commonweal believes are creating homelessness. Download a copy of
the report from the Commonwealth Housing website.
