Homelessness: Lancashire

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of recent trends in the level of homelessness in (a) Lancashire and (b) Fylde constituency.

Answered by Alison McGovern

Homelessness levels are far too high. This can have a devastating impact on those affected and we must address this and deliver long term solutions.

The Government is looking at these issues carefully and is developing a new cross government strategy, working with mayors and councils across the country to get us back on track to ending homelessness.

The Government publishes homelessness statistics by local authority in England on gov.uk here.
