Written Question
Homelessness
Wednesday 30th March 2016

Asked by: James Berry (Conservative - Kingston and Surbiton)

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what proportion of the local government finance settlement announced in the 2015 Spending Review his Department plans to spend on homelessness prevention in each year up to 2019-20; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Marcus Jones - Treasurer of HM Household (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Commons)

The Government has always been clear that we are committed to supporting the most vulnerable people in our society. One person without a home is one too many. That is why we have protected the homelessness prevention funding local authorities receive, totalling £315 million by 2019-20.
