The mayor's emergency rough sleeping summit aims to address the rising homelessness crisis, with £4.8 million targeted to assist 3,500 vulnerable individuals in supported housing.
Mr Khan acknowledged that despite new funding, the legacy of underinvestment will likely worsen rough sleeping initially, but believes effective strategies can reverse its trend.
The mayor emphasized the collaborative approach required, citing the previous successes during the pandemic, and highlighted the pressing need for wider societal involvement in tackling homelessness.
The summit will initiate a call for evidence for a comprehensive plan aimed at achieving a 'zero rough sleeping' target by 2030, emphasizing long-term commitments.
