Criminalising squatters could make more people homeless, says report | Society | The Guardian
The government's own impact assessment of plans to criminalise squatting has acknowledged that it could boost homelessness and rough sleeping, and target those who are already suffering from mental health and addiction problems.
The admission follows warnings from campaign groups that the squatting plan will end up "criminalising the homeless" in the middle of a housing crisis.
The justice ministry's assessment of the proposal, published alongside a consultation paper, acknowledges concerns that it will target individuals who are already leading chaotic lives, and says that the police and local authorities will have to find alternative accommodation for those evicted under the new powers.
