In line with the practice of successive administrations, details of internal discussions are not normally disclosed.

The Home Office can set out details of their support, but this Government has made the unprecedented commitment to end rough sleeping within this Parliament and to fully enforce the Homelessness Reduction Act. In September 2022, we published our new cross-government strategy ‘Ending Rough Sleeping for Good’, setting out how we are investing £2 billion over the three years to accelerate these efforts.
