The inquiry will examine how effective UK Government support has been in supporting individuals in the private rented sector or who are homeless. It will also look at what long term strategies will need to be put in place to support both groups in the long-term, once current measures expire.
The Committee invites written evidence on the impact of Coronavirus on homelessness, rough sleeping, and the private rented sector, as well as any other connected issues. In particular, the Committee is interesting in finding out:
- How effective has the support provided by MHCLG and other Government departments in addressing the impact of Coronavirus on those in the private rented sector, rough sleepers, and the homeless?
- What problems remain a current and immediate concern for these groups?
- What might be the immediate post-lockdown impacts for these groups, and what action is needed to help with these?
