Further to my answer to Question UIN 94905 on 1 December, over 180,000 families with dependent children have been supported to secure accommodation since the implementation of the Homelessness Reduction Act 2018.
We also published our strategy 'Ending Rough Sleeping for Good' in September 2022 and this is available here: Ending Rough Sleeping For Good. The strategy sets out cross government action and how we are investing £2 billion over the next three years to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.
