Abstract

The UK has been an exemplar of innovation and an exemplar of policy failure in respect of homelessness. As a single nation and particularly as a group of de- volved administrations, with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland exercising ever-increasing control over their own homelessness policy, the UK has, collec- tively, often managed to simultaneously demonstrate innovation, success and how to make a policy mess in responding to homelessness. This short chapter attempts to summarise a long and complex history of homelessness policy in the UK to il- lustrate what that history has highlighted about designing and delivering effective strategic responses to homelessness.
