How Best Can We Prevent And Reduce Homelessness And Improve The Lives Of Those People Who Do Become Homeless


This CPPS seminar brings together key figures from across sectors in the important debate on how policies of the new Coalition Government can tackle the challenges of eliminating the scourge of homelessness. How should all stakeholders modify their approaches to meet the agenda and expectations of the new Government?
