The Homes for Cathy group is calling on housing associations to sign up to nine commitments that could make a "major impact" on homelessness, including:
- To contribute to the development and execution of local authority homelessness strategies.
- To operate flexible allocations and eligibility polices which allow individual applicants' unique sets of circumstances and housing histories to be considered.
- To offer constructive solutions to applicants who aren't deemed eligible for an offer of a home.
- To not make homeless any tenant seeking to prevent their homelessness (as defined in the Crisis plan).
