Acknowledges the complex issue of homelessness and outlines government initiatives such as a £39 billion investment in social housing, £3.5 billion over three years for homelessness services, and immediate action to increase temporary accommodation supply through a £950 million fund. Emphasizes preventing homelessness before it occurs and addressing poor access to quality temporary accommodation. Discussed the national plan to end homelessness and efforts to place households closer to home. Mentioned the importance of suitable temporary accommodation, a commitment to review guidance, and introduced an amendment requiring local housing authorities to notify educational institutions and health services when a child is placed in temporary accommodation. Addressed questions regarding 16 to 18-year-olds, stating that further clarification would be provided through correspondence. Out-of-area placements should be a last resort and must be handled properly with full notification, safeguarding referrals and collaboration between councils. The government is committed to tackling the drivers of homelessness, improving standards, and ensuring vulnerable households get support they need. This is a shared challenge, and the minister looks forward to working with all local authorities, charities and Members across the House to deliver long-term solutions. On behalf of everyone in this House, she passes sincere thanks to the charities, organisations and individuals mentioned by the hon. Member for Eastbourne.
