Background
Rough sleeping remains one of the most visible forms of poverty in the UK and has severe impacts on health, safety, and wellbeing.
Many people become homeless due to circumstances such as loss of employment, family breakdown, or lack of affordable housing.
Providing stable accommodation and targeted support would not only improve individual outcomes but also reduce the long-term costs of emergency services and temporary housing.
