Written Question
Sleeping Rough
Monday 11th January 2021

Asked by: Brendan Clarke-Smith (Conservative - Bassetlaw)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

What progress his Department has made on delivering new accommodation for rough sleepers.

Answered by Kelly Tolhurst

During the Pandemic, through Everyone In, by November we had supported around 33,000 people with nearly 10,000 in emergency accommodation and over 23,000 already moved on into longer-term accommodation.

To provide a longer-term solution, on 29 October, we announced funding of more than £150 million to deliver more than 3,300 units of long-term, supported, move-on accommodation for rough sleepers across the country. We are now working with our delivery partners at Homes England and the Greater London Authority to ensure these schemes are delivered at pace.
