Focusing on the evolution of homelessness policy in the UK from 1945 to 2019, the book highlights five pivotal factors shaping legislation and responses to homelessness. It examines influential laws, such as the 1948 National Assistance Act and the 2002 Homelessness Act, while addressing critical issues like child welfare, rough sleeping, and temporary accommodations. By incorporating insights from former ministers and key figures, the narrative provides a comprehensive analysis of how societal views and geographical disparities have informed policy development over the decades.
