Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will publish an impact assessment of the effectiveness of the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.

We have committed to reviewing the implementation of the Homelessness Reduction Act, including the resourcing of it and how it is working in practice for a wide group of people, by March 2020. We have published a call for evidence and are inviting all with an interest to respond by October 15 2019, and have commissioned ICF to undertake an independent review of how the Act has been implemented by different areas.
