Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of a default nationwide Housing First model.

The previous government commissioned an evaluation of the Housing First pilots that were launched in 2018 in the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and Liverpool City Region. All six reports have now been published, with the final report published in October 2024, and can be found here.

This Government is currently developing a new cross government strategy, working with mayors and councils across the country to get us back on track to ending homelessness once and for all.
