The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 is to ensure that everyone who is at risk of homelessness, or who is homeless, is legally entitled to meaningful help from their local authority regardless of their current status. It does this by defining the service that local councils and other public bodies must provide to those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The law requires councils to provide that help at an earlier stage than previously, with the objective that this will decrease the likelihood that people will become homeless.

They shouldn’t be allowed to but in order to put this in place the accommodation and help provided needs to be fit for purpose
Not in busy cities. This should be controlled in zones. Schemes should be provided to give them psychological assistance and rehabilitation as a mandatory alternative.
@9D7L5PN2yrs2Y
Other support should be given
@9HPMNNM1yr1Y
This question was never relevant and should never have been added. Homelessness is a complex issue that cannot be tackled with a one size fits all policy.
@9FRFHMS1yr1Y
No, but we should treat them all fairly and react responsibly on a case by case basis, and while a free speech country they had the right to not be labels straight away as criminals so removing that from our talks will help
@97RLT3M2yrs2Y
to introduce a programme where homeless can gain skills to get back on a job to be able to rent a house for themselves.
@9CLYXD62yrs2Y
No, but more funding is needed to make the shelter/housing safe spaces first
no but they should be allowed certain areas in which they are allowed to that may not be in a shelter which allows them freedom
@93B4PKG3yrs3Y
tiny minority, silly question
@9CC5YNL2yrs2Y
Yes, but not if it causes problems for property owners
