Recommendation 18
18
Mandate the national homelessness strategy to ensure ministerial ownership and accountability for progress.
Recommendation
The Group should also consider whether the current balance of responsibilities for homelessness policy between local authorities and central government is compatible with a national strategy on tackling homelessness. The strategy on ending homelessness must address how government ministers will take ownership of and be held accountable for progress towards ending homelessness and delivering on the commitments in the strategy. (Recommendation, Paragraph 74)
