We want the government to increase permanent housing for homeless people.
We urgently request that the House of Commons encourages the government to take action to increase the availability of more permanent accommodation in all areas and to reduce the numbers of people living in temporary accommodation.
We recognised that the City and County of Swansea has taken action to combat homelessness on the streets of Swansea with their pledge to provide overnight accommodation. This is of great benefit to homeless people. However, we are concerned about the numbers of people in temporary accommodation, the length of time they spend there and the funding of services to support them.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/631032
Housing is a devolved policy area in Wales, so increasing accommodation for homeless people in Wales is the responsibility of the Welsh Government and local authorities in Wales, not the UK Government or Parliament.
The Welsh Parliament has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Welsh Parliament, you can find out more here: petitions.senedd.wales/
