Closed End homelessness

Closed on

Government statistics categorise 85,000 households (which may contain more than one person) as homeless.

Nearly 10,000 people sleep on the streets every night.

It would take less than 0.005% of the UK's GDP to bring all empty, abandoned and derelict housing up to code.

I would like the government to commit to ending domestic homelessness by funding the renovation of existing houses to provide accommodation to those who have none.
