Local Government and Communities Committee. National Inquiry into Homelessness: Summary of written evidence

This paper provides a summary of the evidence received to the Local Government and Communities Committee’s call for evidence on homelessness. Sixty four responses were returned. These responses are available on the Committee’s webpages.

The Committee asked 21 questions in their call for views. This summary provides an overview of the main themes arising from the evidence. It gives examples of organisations providing certain views and good practice examples, but this should not be taken as a comprehensive list of all those responding to a particular question.

The summary is structured according to the questions asked in the Committee’s call for evidence. Not all respondents followed the structure of the questions posed by the Committee. Those comments have been added to the most appropriate question. In some cases, the summary combines responses to a number of questions given the overlapping nature of responses.
