Our Statement on the Government’s Plan to End Street Homelessness:
We welcome the Government's commitment to ensure that everyone sleeping rough is offered a route off the streets by Christmas. The additional investment and recognition that rough sleeping is a challenge requiring support from government, local authorities, housing providers, charities and communities is a positive step forward.
At LEAP, we know from over three decades of supporting people facing homelessness across Lincolnshire that providing a bed is only part of the solution. Sustainable change comes through safe accommodation, practical support, good mental and physical healthcare, employment opportunities, and helping people rebuild their lives. The Government's focus on accommodation alongside wider support services reflects what frontline organisations have long understood.
We look forward to working with partners across Lincolnshire to ensure that any new opportunities and investment deliver lasting outcomes for people experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping in our communities.
