Summary
This briefing contains some initial observations from Shelter on the homelessness statement issued by the Scottish Executive in December 2005. The statement is quite long so this briefing does not cover everything in there; rather it picks out some of the points that Shelter thinks are more important or are new.
This briefing outlines the context to the statement and gives Shelter's views on the following issues it addresses:
- priority need
- changes to law and regulation
- housing supply
- prevention of homelessness.
