Department for Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 11 January 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the number of children in the London Borough of Wandsworth who will be homeless on 25 December 2017.
Local authorities have duties to ensure that a child is never without a roof over their head.
This Government is taking a number of actions to prevent a homelessness crisis from happening in the first place. This includes:
establishing the Rough Sleeping and Homelessness Reduction Taskforce, to drive forward the implementation of a cross-Government strategy; and
My Department publishes regular statistics on homelessness and rough sleeping which are published at national, London and local authority level. The latest statistics can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics
