Welcome homes
John Glenton considers how councils should spend on homelessness prevention grants to support families affordably.
Supported housing is a smart investment
Supported housing changes lives and saves public money, but its funding has reduced over time, says John Glenton. It should be a properly financed national priority, he adds.
Putting an end to families’ cycle of despair
On World Homelessness Day, John Glenton explains how Sefton Council has saved £900,000 thanks to a homelessness prevention scheme with a nearly 100% success rate.
We need to do more to tackle homelessness before it happens
The country needs a national housing and homelessness strategy underpinned by long-term sustainable investment, with a significant focus on prevention, says John Glenton.
How can councils prepare homelessness services for a second wave?
We’ve proven we can tackle rough sleeping and keep people safe during COVID-19 says John Glenton – and now we need to be ready to do so again.
