Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the actions necessary to return the number of people sleeping rough to the level achieved during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This government’s long-term vision is to end homelessness and rough sleeping and we are focused on delivering long-term solutions to prevent people from sleeping rough in the first place. Our National Plan to End Homelessness sets out the actions we will take to halve long-term rough sleeping by the end of this Parliament including investing £15 million in our Long-Term Rough Sleeping Innovation Programme to enable councils with the greatest pressures to deliver more personalised and comprehensive support for people with complex needs.
