Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2025-2030
Councils are implementing strategies to tackle homelessness, focusing on prevention, housing provision, and early intervention.
Harrow Council launched its new strategy in March 2026, aligning with the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2025-2030, focusing on early intervention and partnership working to support vulnerable residents. Camden Council unveiled its strategy in December 2025, which includes a plan to buy back 280 homes to house homeless families, following a 14-week public consultation.
Camden's strategy aims to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurrent, prioritising prevention, person-centred services, securing more housing, and campaigning nationally. Lambeth Council's strategy, approved in April 2025, outlines a four-pronged approach including early intervention, person-centred support, and collaboration, with an update presented in July 2025.
