How can the Mayor and Government work together to make sure nobody has to sleep on London’s streets?
Latest figures show an increase in the number of people sleeping rough for at least one night in Autumn 2023. The Mayor’s election manifesto included a commitment to ending rough sleeping in London by 2030.
The Housing Committee will tomorrow ask what needs to be done if the Mayor is to meet his commitment and how at-risk groups such as young people and refugees can be better supported.
The guests are:
Panel 1 – Sector experts: 10am – 11:15am
- Molly Bishop, Head of Implementation, Centre for Homelessness Impact

Panel 2 – GLA – 11:30am – 12:45pm
