How can the Mayor and Government work together to make sure
nobody has to sleep on London's streets?
Latest figures show an increase in the number of people sleeping
rough for at least one night in Autumn 2023. The Mayor's election
manifesto included a commitment to ending rough sleeping in
London by 2030.
The Housing Committee will
tomorrow ask what needs to be done if the Mayor
is to meet his commitment, and how at-risk groups such as young
people and refugees can be better supported.
