Number of London rough sleepers up by fifth, data shows
Lambeth is among six locations where new partnerships will be forged between councils, businesses, charities and individuals during the five-year initiative, which aims to see homelessness as something rare, brief and unrepeated.
Rough sleeping is one kind of homelessness, with other situations including someone in temporary accommodation, living in inadequate housing, or staying with family and friends in what is known as sofa-surfing.Homelessness charity St Mungo's said the report was a "tragic reflection" of the cost-of-living crisis and lack of affordable housing
She added that without "immediate intervention, the number of people sleeping rough will continue to rise". "They must also invest in new council and genuinely affordable homes and restore London Housing Allowance rates to the 30th percentile of market rents. Ministers should also give me the power to introduce a system of rent controls that work for London."
