The law sets out what help people can get to deal with homelessness. But it can also exclude people from getting any help at all.
We are working with governments across Britain to make sure that by law every homeless person is entitled to get the help they need. We want people to be offered help, not criminalised for being homeless. This includes people who come here from overseas. We know that many homeless people have spent time in prison. Helping people into housing when they leave prison makes them less likely to commit more crimes.
Our research examines the impact of legislation and interventions on homelessness.
Public spending would fall by
if 40,000 people were prevented from experiencing one year of homelessness
Our No one turned away campaign is calling for every homeless person who approaches their council to get the help they need.
You are part of ending homelessness, one journey at a time.
