Examining social housing provision in the context of current and historical practice, the contributors argue that the homeless, particularly those with mental health problems, run the very real risk of being socially excluded; and present arguments for how policy should develop. They consider such issues as: What is the role of government? How far should the state intervene? What can the private sector contribute? How does the law affect the various groups? How can we house the growing number of homeless people with disabilities?
Fiona Spiers is Head of Heritage Lottery Fund, Yorkshire and the Humber. She was formerly Appeals Manager at St Anne’s Shelter and Housing Action, Leeds, where she edited this book and prepared evidence on homelessness for the Government’s Social Exclusion Unit.
