Recommendation 8
8
National homelessness prevention strategies remain limited, delaying support for vulnerable families.
Conclusion
In its written submission, the Shared Health Foundation emphasised that, aside from plans to build more houses, national prevention strategies for all forms of homelessness remain limited. It claimed that many families facing homelessness are told by local authorities to wait until their eviction date before being provided with emergency support, because of a lack of viable preventive measures.12
