Commitment

Double investment in homeless prevention

What this means

  • The Social Democrats made this promise in their November 2024 general election manifesto. It has not yet been delivered.[source]
  • The party committed to doubling investment in homeless prevention services, meaning spending in this area would be twice its current level.[source]
  • The commitment also covers supports for people leaving care, a group at high risk of homelessness when transitioning out of the care system.[source]
  • No delivery date was set for this commitment, making it harder for the public to hold the party to account on timing.[source]
  • This falls under social protection policy and reflects a focus on stopping homelessness before it happens rather than responding after the fact.[source]
