London Mayor Sadiq Khan has pledged to eliminate rough sleeping in the city by 2030 if re-elected, with a £10 million investment and the establishment of a new homelessness hubs network. This commitment includes specialist assessment and support to help rebuild lives, aiming to assist an additional 1,700 people annually. The policy has been met with support from various Labour MPs and local campaigners, emphasizing the contrast between Labour's approach and the Conservative government's policies, which have been criticized for attempting to criminalize rough sleeping.
