Veterans: Homelessness

Asked by Andrew BowieConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 5 August 2024UIN 658

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to reduce veteran homelessness.

Answered by Al Carns

The level of homelessness, including for our veterans, is too high.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is working across Government to ensure veterans have access to the support they need on housing, as well as mental health, employment and other areas.

The Government will develop a new cross-Government strategy, working with Mayors and Councils across the country, to put Britain back on track to ending homelessness. The MOD will work with other departments to take a long term approach and to tackle the root causes of homelessness.
