Breaking the Cycle
To Break the Cycle of rising homelessness, we’re calling for a fundamental shift in the homelessness funding model: a switch from expensive short-term crisis measures to invest in long-term solutions and prevention.

People who come to the UK from elsewhere have complex rights to housing. The law is constantly changing, and non UK nationals often end up homeless. Our members are deeply concerned with this, so we continue to work with the Home Office and local authorities to cut through the rhetoric and ensure that people get the help and support that they are entitled to.
