Homelessness: Finance
(asked on 21st February 2019) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make it his policy to classify as a priority in the next Spending Review, funding to reduce rough sleeping and homelessness.
This question was answered on 26th February 2019
The government is committed to tackling homelessness and rough sleeping. We have provided £1.2bn of funding to address homelessness. In August, we announced a £100m Rough Sleeping Strategy to begin progress to meet the commitment to halve rough sleeping by 2022, and eliminate it by 2027.
All long-term decisions on public spending will be taken at the Spending Review this year, when the Chancellor will set out his approach for the future.
