Recommendation (the committee's words)
The government should develop a national performance management framework for homelessness assessments and allocation policies which specifically includes monitoring of outcomes by race and sex and compliance with the Equality Act 2010. It should collate and publish a summary of findings at least annually and report significant patterns of racial and other biases in local decision-making to the Equality and Human Rights Commission for investigation and enforcement. (Recommendation, Paragraph 62)
