Homelessness

Proceeding contribution from Lord Herbert of South Downs (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 February 2018. It occurred during Estimates day on Homelessness.

My hon. Friend is surely right about the importance of a long-term solution and providing more affordable housing, including in our area of West Sussex. Does she agree that there is also an important role for schemes

such as emergency hosting for young people who become homeless, which can be provided by volunteers? The brilliant Depaul Nightstop service—I declare an interest, as my partner works for Depaul—provides such a scheme, but in only half the local authorities in England.
