Article summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) has announced that rough sleepers are to be helped stay off the streets for good through a joined-up approach to treating the underlying causes of rough sleeping. This is to involve co-operation between the government, charities and local councils in order to help rough sleepers rebuild their lives off the streets, and build on the local partnerships developed during the ‘Everyone In’ initiative during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. MHCLG has asked local councils to ‘refresh local plans to end rough sleeping and to agree operational targets for reducing rough sleeping in their area this year’. This is to be supported by government funding of £750m to help combat homelessness and rough sleeping in 2021.
