In his first speech as PM, Andy Burnham has pledged to end rough sleeping – the most visible and dangerous form of homelessness. This could mark a turning point for ending homelessness.
We know homelessness can be ended with the right political will. And the PM has made it a priority on day one.
So, will you add your name now to show Andy Burnham that there’s massive public support for turning this pledge into reality?
Some people say that homelessness can’t be ended. That’s not what we think. We believe everyone should have the foundation of a safe, affordable home.
Let’s show the new PM that there are thousands of you who believe in that too.
By adding your name now, you'll send a clear message to the new Government: people across the country back bold action so that no one is forced to endure the dangers of sleeping rough.
Andy Burnham has already talked about a national housing first philosophy being the way. It’s a simple concept – a secure home and the support to keep it.
He’s committed funding for helping people who have been rough sleeping for a long time. The government should also:
- Unfreeze housing benefit so it covers the cost of renting
- Bring forward funding for more social homes.
This a moment for hope – so let’s match it with action. Add your name today to back an end to rough sleeping.
