London's Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has announced a commitment to eliminate rough sleeping by 2030, bolstered by £17 million in government funding. This initiative intends to shift the focus from responding to homelessness to preventing it, aiming to help individuals before they end up on the streets. The new funding will support the establishment of an Ending Homelessness Hub, which will provide round-the-clock assistance, and refurbish around 500 empty homes. Although the mayor expresses confidence in his plan, critics argue that a broader approach to the housing crisis is necessary for real progress.
