Homelessness Strategy
Haringey Council is intensifying its efforts to eradicate rough sleeping and engaging with the Secretary of State on its homelessness strategy.
Haringey Council is currently focusing on eradicating rough sleeping, having approved a motion in November 2025 outlining its commitment to this goal. The council has seen a 33% reduction in rough sleeping since 2022 and plans to write to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to showcase its successful policies and strategies.
The council aims to invite the Secretary of State or a relevant minister to visit the borough. This visit would allow them to observe Haringey's policies in action and discuss how the local success in addressing homelessness might inform national approaches.
