Think Tank Warns of Rising Homelessness Without Government Action
A think tank has called on the government to fund a national homelessness programme as homelessness figures continue to rise. The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) reports that homelessness across England is projected to increase by 25% by the end of the decade if no government action is taken.
The IPPR's findings highlight the urgency for intervention, with the think tank urging the government to address the growing crisis. The report emphasises the need for a coordinated national response to prevent further increases in homelessness.
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the potential rise in homelessness may impact the rental sector and housing demand. The call for government action underscores the importance of policy decisions in shaping the property landscape.
