In 2024 rough sleeping and statutory homelessness are at all time highs. This situation is directly linked to political choices. The cost of living crisis and the lack of affordable and appropriate housing is pushing more and more people onto the streets and making it harder for people to move on from rough sleeping.
Following the General Election on 4 July 2024, we have a new Labour government in the UK.
We are, without a doubt, in a homelessness and rough sleeping crisis.
We’re here to end homelessness, but we cannot do it alone. We want to work constructively with the Government to bring about fundamental change to a system that is failing.
These are our six main asks to the Government to tackle the crisis.
St Mungo’s facilitates research on issues relating to homelessness as well as policy briefings and we respond to government consultations and inquiries.
We know it is possible to end rough sleeping. But we also know it takes collaboration across the sector and serious political will. We work in partnership with our clients and sector colleagues and partners, we advocate for systemic solutions. Our influencing work is directly shaped by the lessons of people who have lived and worked through homelessness.
In 2021 St Mungo’s became the Secretariat for the Kerslake Commission on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping. Chaired by the late Lord Bob Kerslake, the Commission examined the lessons from the emergency response during the Covid-19 pandemic, which achieved a 37% reduction in the number of people sleeping rough in England.
