Conclusion
The government’s National Plan to End Homelessness and increased investment in social housing are very welcome. However, it is disappointing that there is little recognition in the Plan of the disproportionate impact of homelessness on Black people or any targeted commitments to address it. Policies and programmes that do not consider racial inequalities will continue to leave Black people disproportionately affected and risk delegating the responsibility for addressing racial inequalities onto third sector organisations and Black communities themselves.
