Temporary Accommodation: Harlow
- Question
-
What steps he is taking to help reduce the number of families in temporary accommodation in Harlow constituency.
- Answer
-
We must tackle the root causes of homelessness and move away from a crisis response towards preventing homelessness in the first place to reduce the number of families in temporary accommodation.
That’s why our National Plan to End Homelessness sets out how we will build more homes, including for social rent, end Section 21 evictions and reduce poverty.
We’ve already made a record investment in prevention services with more than £1 billion funding for homelessness services in England this year, including £1.3 million for Harlow District Council.
