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.

Money should be provided to homeless to help them back on their feet so that they can feel valued and supported
@9PBFZ7T10mos10MO
Tough one. I feel like education is needed to understand more about the 2017 act and, as the public, we can behave to help.
@9N9X6C510mos10MO
No, create more shelter options to suit the needs of these people - they're refusing available shelter or housing for a reason.
@9N5DBVW10mos10MO
No, we should try to create a scheme to aid in homeless people getting jobs and opening bank accounts.
@9N3VG8FLiberal Democrat10mos10MO
Yes, however create safer environments for these people to allow them to accept the option of shelter
@9JYMMMQ1yr1Y
Yes, and investigate the reasons why people are refusing and fix them, ie provide better housing and treatment programmes

Yes, but only with permission from the owner
