I’ve launched a new Private Members Bill to tackle homelessness & I want to hear from you. It would extend early intervention from 28 to 60 days — giving people more time & support before crisis hits. Public consultation closes tomorrow — have your say: bit.ly/3IyFci1

Great to see the progress of @HomewardsUK in Northern Ireland. An action plan to scale successful existing services in housing, employment and education is coming together while also ensuring people with lived experience of homelessness have a central input going forward.

In the UK, almost one in four people affected by homelessness have gone through the care system at some point in their childhood. This is something that needs to change which is why @HomewardsUK, alongside the Simon Community Initiative, is focusing on this issue here in Belfast.
