We have made excellent progress on our manifesto commitment to end rough sleeping. Rough sleeping levels reduced 37% between 2019 and 2020, the third consecutive yearly decrease.

The Government will be spending over £2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the next three years, demonstrating our commitment to build on recent progress. Multi-year funding will enable local partners to plan services more effectively and efficiently.

The Secretary of State is understandably taking the time to consider carefully his strategic priorities.
