Plea for more help for homeless

Mar 3 2010

Housing campaigners have called for more support for homeless people to be included in proposed new legislation.

Leaders of the housing and homeless charity Shelter Scotland want changes to be made to proposals currently going through Holyrood.

The charity wants to see measures to improve the support available to homeless people once they have somewhere to live included in the Housing (Scotland) Bill and it argued this could help towards meeting the 2012 target of ending homelessness.
