The Real Impact of the HRA on Single Homelessness in London
Is your organisation responding to the Government’s Call for Evidence on the implementation of the Homelessness Reduction Act (HRA)?

The Government’s Call for Evidence is a chance for local authorities, voluntary, faith and statutory agencies to have their say on the Act and help inform future decisions and changes to the Act. Come along to this London PLUS Policy Forum to hear from a Panel and share experience amongst a range of front line London based agencies about its impact on single homelessness in London. The closing date for responses is 15th October 2019.
Panel speakers include Rebecca Ireland MHCLG, Caroline Bernard Homeless Link, Marcus Loney-Evans St Martins Frontline Network and Ian Swift LB Southwark.
This is a joint event between Homeless Link and Shelter for:
