They should review their policies and priorities to ensure that they deal effectively with the problems that confront homeless and roofless people.
Particularly important is the idea of double glazing in flats or "roofless" houses, as has been said.
Now those glens are depopulated and the houses have been left roofless, though there are not so many of those ruins now.
Under these proposals, local authorities will aid not those who will become homeless in order to prevent it, but only those who are already roofless.
Clients with social care needs are frequently also either roofless or inappropriately housed.
We are also providing grants amounting to over £300,000 in 1994–95 for voluntary bodies who support homeless and roofless people.
Moreover, schools and buildings had been left roofless, the hospital was badly damaged, trees had been uprooted, and roads were blocked with debris everywhere.
One in five of those who are actually roofless have no income, which suggests that the benefit system is missing them already.
