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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to help (a) protect renters from eviction and (b) support people who are homeless in Leicester East constituency.

I refer the Hon. Member to the answer I gave to Question UIN 191614 on 6 July 2023.

We remain committed to ending rough sleeping and tackling homelessness. We have given councils over £2 billion over three years to help them tackle homelessness and rough sleeping, targeted to areas where it is needed most. In Leicester, this includes £2,383,257 funding through the Homelessness Prevention Grant for 2023/24 and 2024/25.
