NHF raises ‘serious concern’ as three county councils propose to decommission homelessness services
The body has sent a joint letter with housing charities to the homelessness minister
The National Housing Federation has written to the homelessness minister, Felicity Buchan, raising concern at the number of county councils considering decommissioning homelessness and other supported housing funding contracts “due to severe financial constraints”.
The letter, sent on 15 January, warns that if the county councils in question are not provided with sufficient funding, multiple supported housing services will be forced to close.
The letter was sent by the chief executive of the National Housing Federation, Kate Henderson, Homeless Link’s CEO Rick Henderson and councillor David Fothergill, chair of the Local Government Association community wellbeing board.
