In April 2017, Crisis announced a big ambition: a plan to end homelessness, once and for all. Since then, we’ve been consulting far and wide to find out what changes are needed for us to end homelessness in Great Britain. We’re now in the final stage of our consultation, which is all about consensus and prioritisation.
New research, commissioned by Crisis and undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers, has estimated that Scottish Government could ensure local authorities save £29m in 2018 by moving homeless people out of unsuitable temporary accommodation to more suitable temporary accommodation (e.g. supported hostels and social housing) within seven days.
We’re hosting an Everybody In reception on Sunday 23rd September, the very first day of the Labour Party Conference. It's a chance to meet Crisis members, see their artwork, and discuss how we to get Everybody In to end homelessness.
