Debt Talk welcomes Prime Minister Andy Burnham's proposal to tackle rough sleeping through a housing-first approach and greater investment in support services.

Every day, we advise people from diverse communities who are at risk of homelessness because of welfare policy, insecure tenancies, rising living costs, and a shortage of affordable housing. We see first-hand that rough sleeping is often the result of systemic pressures rather than personal choice.

We support the Prime Minister's commitment to prioritise safe, stable housing alongside practical support, and we look forward to working with the Government and partners to ensure that everyone has access to the help they need before they reach crisis point.
