This book discusses homelessness policy in the UK from 1945 to
2019. It identifies five key factors that have driven policy: the
favoured explanations for homelessness, distinctions between
different groups of homeless people, demand for social rented
housing, geographical differences and the forms of prevention
preferred by policy makers. The account analyses how these factors
have influenced key pieces of legislation such as the 1948 National
Assistance Act, the 1977 Housing (Homeless Persons) Act and the
2002 Homelessness Act. It also identifies the key issues that
policy has sought to address at different times, including children
being taken into care because of their parents' homelessness, rough
sleeping, the use of bed and breakfast hotels as temporary
accommodation, social exclusion and welfare reform. In addition to
published sources and archival material, the book draws on the
experiences of two former Ministers and other key figures in the
development of homelessness policy.
