Homelessness: Young People

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of publishing a strategy to help tackle youth homelessness.

Answered by Alex Norris

Homelessness levels are far too high and too many families are living in temporary accommodation. We will take the action needed to tackle this issue and develop a long-term, cross-government strategy, through working with mayors, councils and other key stakeholders, to end homelessness for good. Critical to tackling homelessness is building more affordable homes. We will deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation and deliver 1.5 million new homes over the next Parliament.
