The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has announced that the government will be publishing a Green Paper (click following text to read his speech): "Today I can announce that we will be bringing forward a green paper on social housing in England".

The National Audit Office has published an evaluation of the government's policies about homelessness in England.  This is an important report from the independent spending watchdog, which concludes that “Homelessness in all its forms has significantly increased in recent years, driven by several factors. Despite this, government has not evaluated the impact of its reforms on this issue, and there remain gaps in its approach. It is difficult to understand why the Department persisted with its light touch approach in the face of such a visibly growing problem. Its recent performance in reducing homelessness therefore cannot be considered value for money”.  Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office, 13 September 2017.  The report is detailed but also look at the Interactive Graphics to drill down into the data for your region.
