I have a number of points, including the one I made earlier about capturing the number of people at risk of homelessness. Local authorities have different approaches. The problem with community welfare officers is that, with the best will in the world, some people, including families, are being captured far too late. When people contact me I encourage them to talk to the local authority officers dealing with homelessness.
