Build more social housing in Newham to tackle Homelessness
Provide extra support for those vulnerable to becoming homeless - detailed plans and policies to be outlined in the government budget
Allocate more funding to local councils to create homeless prevention programmes, this should include staff.
Homelessness is on the rise in Newham since the pandemic. According to the (ONS) Office of National Statistics, reports suggest that 17,170 people are currently homeless in the borough of Newham. The high cost of living has meant a lack of affordable housing, poverty and unemployment for many Newham residents which results in homelessness. Increase affordable housing and promote public awareness campaigns to reduce the stigma associated with homelessness.
