Today I visited The Ferry Project in Wisbech for the launch of their new emergency accommodation.
Incredible to see this vision come to life and to see they have such amazing support from their local community. #endhomelessness

Rural homelessness is a growing and important issue.

People who are homeless in rural locations aren't getting the help they need. They're  hard to find and are cut off from support.

We've joined a coalition of organisations looking to change this.

We’re pleased to see Friday prison releases become history as the Offenders (Day of Release from Detention) Bill becomes law.

Leaving prison on a Friday has too often meant nights on the street as essential services close for the weekend.

📈 Rough sleeping in London soars by 21%

This week, we labelled CHAIN's annual report as "categorically terrible", calling for Government to unfreeze LHA, accelerate rental reforms and boost funding for services.

You said ending rough sleeping was ‘crucial’ @RishiSunak, but it rose by 26% in 2022 while services are facing huge financial losses and potential closures.

Please listen to the homelessness sector and act to end rough sleeping.

Rural homelessness is a hidden crisis that's only getting worse. With a 24% rise in rough sleeping in the past year and 83% of frontline workers struggling to address it, it's time for national and local leaders to take action.
