The Government is committed to deliver long term solutions to end homelessness and will develop a new cross government strategy, working with mayors and councils across the country.

The Deputy Prime Minister chaired the first Inter-Ministerial Group on Homelessness in November to bring together ministerial colleagues across government to help get us back on track to ending homelessness.

The Group will continue to meet as required.
