Recommendation 15
15
Accepted
Ending homelessness strategy requires cross-government buy-in, collaboration, clear actions, and funding.
Conclusion
It is essential that the strategy to end homelessness has buy-in across all government departments and local authorities, and so we welcome the creation of the Inter-Ministerial Group on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping to bring about this collaboration. It is vital that all invited government departments engage fully in the preparation of the strategy. The strategy must build on the previous work of homelessness organisations and independent reports, in order to agree the specific actions and funding commitments which will bring about significant progress towards ending homelessness during this Parliament. (Conclusion, Paragraph 71)
