Communities and Local Government has today (8 April 2008) released a brief discussion paper to inform the future direction of its three-year strategy to drive rough sleeping down to as close to zero as possible.

Rough Sleeping 10 years on: From the streets to independent living and opportunity intend to publish an updated rough sleeping strategy later this year which will set out our plans for the next three years. It will set out the renewed commitment to the original goal to drive rough sleeping down as close to zero as possible.

They are inviting people to respond to the paper and feed in their views.
