Quotes from the Minister for Homelessness and comments on social
media from the Housing Secretary and Prime Minister on World
Homeless Day
PM:
Angela Rayner:
Marking World Homeless Day today, the Minister for
Homelessness MP said:
"I know the fear and insecurity that comes with not knowing where
you'll be able to sleep at night and facing daily life without
the safety and stability of a place to call home.
A home provides the foundations to help people focus at school,
hold down a job and shape their own life: it's what everyone
deserves.
"On World Homeless Day, we think of everyone experiencing
homelessness, and of those working tirelessly to support them
through some of the most difficult periods in their lives.
"Because behind every person sleeping rough or facing
homelessness, there is a unique story, and a future worth
fighting for. That's why this government has made it a priority
to tackle this issue head on with the PM pledging to make sure
everyone has a route off the streets by Christmas, while tackling
the root causes of homelessness to reach our goal of ending it
for good.
"Together with councils, charities, faith groups and communities,
we can ensure more people get the support, dignity and
opportunity they deserve."
