Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to include funding for homelessness services in his forthcoming spending review.

The Government is committed to addressing the issue of homelessness. We have allocated over £1.2 billion in homelessness funding to 2020. This includes £100 million for the Rough Sleeping Strategy, to help achieve the Government’s objective of reducing rough sleeping by half by 2022 and eliminating it by 2027. Decisions on funding for future years are to be decided at the Spending Review.
