43.5. Other feedback from the session included:
- Support is limited for people who don't meet specific "at risk" or "vulnerable" criteria, including those leaving custody.
- The private rented sector (PRS) is unstable, with poor quality standards and high rents making work unaffordable for hostel residents.
- Temporary accommodation (TA) can feel unsafe due to transient populations, drug use, intimidation, and insufficient provider support.
- Better tenancy preparation, tenancy sustainment support, and clearer property adverts are needed.
- Rough sleeping figures may be underreported due to lack of night-time outreach
