Big news: The Vagrancy Act has been repealed. Rough sleeping and begging are no longer criminal offences in England and Wales.

By the government's own criteria as it looks to implement rates capping, these services are 'nice to have'.
Move-on powers are a tool, but until the government properly tackles the issues that create roughsleeping and homelessness, they'll achieve basically nothing.

I've written a short policy paper with 6 recommendations based on my work on #multipledisadvantage.
