Tackling Homelessness
While the incidence of homelessness has been reducing the crisis it represents for individuals and families remains acute. The prevention and alleviation of homelessness must, therefore, remain a priority for society and for government.
Housing ssociations can play a pivotal and effective role in both preventing homelessness and working with homeless individuals and families to repair lives and provide high quality accommodation and valuable support services when they are needed.
