Homelessness: Charities and Voluntary Organisations

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the thematic Value for Money Review of homelessness will include an analysis of value added by charitable and not-for-profit homelessness services which do not currently receive government funding.

Answer

The Value for Money Review of homelessness will assess the underlying cost-effectiveness of cross government spend that helps to prevent and relieve all forms of homelessness, and will make actionable recommendations that improve efficiency, accountability, outcomes, and reduce financial pressures on councils. As part of the review, we will also seek views from external stakeholders via the Homelessness Expert Group which includes representatives from front-line services, local government, and the third sector.
