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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many homeless people and rough sleepers have been housed in temporary accommodation since 4 January 2021 as part of the Everyone In Scheme.

We have taken unprecedented steps to protect rough sleepers during the pandemic. This work has not stopped, and our COVID-19 emergency accommodation survey data has shown that 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.

Our latest statutory homelessness statistics for July to September 2020 in England provide data on the number of households in temporary accommodation arranged by local authorities under homelessness legislation and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-emergency-accommodation-survey-data-november-2020.
