Homelessness strategy: Settled Homes, Changing Lives
The Government has a challenging target to halve the number of households living in temporary accommodation to 50,500 by 2010. The Communities and Local Government strategy document Sustainable Communities: Settled Homes; Changing Lives (published March 2005) outlines how the Department will achieve this target and further reductions in homelessness by:- encouraging homelessness prevention
- supporting vulnerable people
- tackling its wider causes and symptoms
- helping more people to move away from rough sleeping
- providing more settled homes
The latest information about Communities and Local Government's policies and progress towards its targets is available in the Homelessness section.
