Target is one of 37 homelessness organsiations, services and partners across the country (coordinated by Homeless Link) to sign a letter to the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt ahead of the upcoming Spring Budget.
The letter made clear the ‘dire situation facing providers of homelessness services’. Warning that “more and more people are being pulled into homelessness without the support of expert service providers to turn to”, labelling this as a “disaster which the Government must address immediately.”
To address the problem, we along with the other organisations urged Jeremy Hunt to “provide funding to enable backdated inflationary uplifts to local authority commissioned contracts for homelessness services and accommodation projects in the upcoming Spring Budget.”
